Could you elaborate on why that's a problem?

Re: using wayland with sddm causing too long broadcast messages

SDDM is waiting on the signal that the KDE session has ended. Because by definition a Wayland session needs to be started on a new TTY to properly grab the hardware it doesn't get that signal properly. You can "fix" this by switching to the TTY SDDM is on (Ctrl+Alt+F1 by default) or by installing newer sddm code, the issue should be fixed in sddm-git
