Every time I enable auto-login in Gnome 3.38, it works for the next restart. Then the file custom.conf in /etc/gdm gets overwritten by itself, without auto-login lines.
Any cure for this?

I even tried setting chmod 444 to custom.conf, but nothing. The file still gets rewritten every single time PC reboots.
This gets inserted by default and everything is rewritten:
[daemon]
WaylandEnable=false
Is there some higher priority file to where gdm gets instructions from?

Currently the fix was to edit gdm.schemas file directly and bypass custom.conf.

I filed a bug report and seems already fixed by the dev. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/641
The solution until it goes live is to set
chattr +i /etc/gdm/custom.conf
once you're satisfied with the changes and auto-login info.
