Unable to get dual-nvidia render offloading setup to work on Wayland

I am trying to configure an Arch/Wayland install for my quad-monitor dual GPU setup (I'll explain the reason in a bit). My first and default GPU is an Nvidia GTX 1060, this is the one that drives all my monitors and runs my Wayland session.

My second GPU is an RTX 3070 that is connected to my main monitor using a second HDMI cable, but it's not being used for display output.

The reason I have this somewhat convoluted setup is because I want to be able to use the 3070 for VFIO passthrough to a Wincrap11 VM (which requires a physical monitor connection on the 3070, even if I'm using looking glass), but when the VM is not running, I also want to be able to use the 3070 to run games on the host Arch system.

I've already fully configured VFIO to blacklist the 3070 at boot and bind it to the vfio driver, and I've also written some scripts that allow me to "bounce" the 3070 back and forth between the vfio and nvidia drivers whenever I want to, and all of that seems to be working correctly.

What I can't seem to figure out though is how I can use the "headless" 3070 as the rendering GPU, and achieve something like PRIME render offloading to be able to run Linux native or Proton/wine games on it.

Here are some command outputs:

Is it even possible to do NVIDIA-to-NVIDIA render offloading on Wayland, or am I wasting my time?

Did you try to DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_02_00_0?

I did try that too just now, it doesn't make a difference. For now I have given up on my original goal of using the 3070 as the secondary, and I'll just use the 1060 as the VM's GPU.
