I would leave out the "yet" here.

Nautilus, the application, works just fine under Wayland. Nautilus, 
the former desktop component, does not and we don't have high-priority 
plans to change that. The classic session will continue to use X for 
now. 

What we do plan wrt. to the nautilus desktop window is to move it to a 
separate process, so that the nautilus application can stop carrying 
this ballast.
