Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help make Ubuntu better.
It is intentional that GNOME on Wayland does not support running entire apps as root. Please file bugs against the specific packages that don't work with GNOME on Wayland. The apps should use PolicyKit to elevate permissions for the specific privileged actions they need. Add the tag 'wayland' to these bugs in Launchpad.
