Thank you for this benchmark. The GPU usage and FPS both tend to be lower on Wayland - question is which delivers frames more consistently.
Unfortunately there is no benchmark option in Genshin, and generally a lack of benchmark videos. I did find one for God Of War, which showed very little difference.
Unless you are not already using it, esync or futex2 would help more to deliver better performance as demonstrated in this GTA V video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvPa1qPEU4A (see also TWEAKS.md)
For Genshin in specific, it might be better to log the frame times over a longer session (say, 4 dailies) and compare it with the records from the next day. However, I am not familiar with benchmarking to know what's needed to log this information.

Assuming you used wine-wayland to play the game in Wayland then it's great to see Wayland is doing better than X11, but what about XWayland in Wayland? I want to see a benchmark between XWayland and Wayland, and if you can please do between Wayland and X11 + gamescope
Also I'd like to see your system specs (neofetch preferred), since in X11, the RAM usage is only 6.7GB but in Wayland it's 8GB, if your system has 8GB ram installed then this become the ram bottleneck problem, hence the GPU (and sometimes CPU) usage is lower in Wayland.

Closing: Unfortunately the benchmark is not very meaningful. There does seem to be a difference, but significant enough to advise using Wayland in the TWEAKS document.
