It seems like I can not play VR games anymore on my system. However it worked on my system since the release of Gnome 47, and at least until Oct 20 2024 (the last time according to Steam that I started BeatSaber). I believe the actual issue is related to my system being unable to find a non-desktop output:
Error [/home/mari/.local/share/envision/monado/src/xrt/compositor/main/comp_window_direct_nvidia.c:_test_for_nvidia]

No non-desktop output available.
(I do own a HTC-VIVE)
The relevant code in monado:
I originally noticed a few days ago that I am not able to start SteamVR anymore, I always get the error: “Your desktop environment (Gnome Wayland) does not support Direct Rendering Manager leases.”
However I believe that the error from Steam is wrong and misleading.
mari@Akko ~ $ wayland-info | grep drm
interface: 'wl_drm', version: 2, name: 3
interface: 'wp_linux_drm_syncobj_manager_v1', version: 1, name: 31
interface: 'wp_drm_lease_device_v1', version: 1, name: 33
drm_lease should work according to wayland info. After testing out a few things mentioned in the linux monado discord server we were able to figure out that monado is not able to find a non-desktop output. This might be the actual issue, and Steams error catching and error message might potentially be misleading.

(maybe Error: ‘const struct drm_mode_config_funcs’ has no member named ‘output_poll_changed’ is related?)
