It tries to.  We do start X in a different way now when falling back
(as part of the user session, instead of as root outside of the user
session), so there may be bugs that need to get ironed out.  It worked
okay in my limited testing though (putting nomodeset on the kernel
commandline on my intel based laptop)

Right you can put WaylandEnable=false in the [daemon] section of
/etc/gdm/custom.conf to skip wayland altogether.
