This is because Wayland doesn't allow it to read window titles. Keepass and KeepassXC uses the window title to identify which entry to use. If you have no title, you can't find the entry. That's why it will not work with Wayland and never will work, until Wayland allows it to read window titles.
XWayland, which is forced with your workaround, is not Wayland.
That's at least for me, the main reason not to switch to Wayland. I have no idea why Wayland doesn't allow reading window titles. There is absolutely no security or performance benefit of this behavior. For me it's either a bug or a design failure. Or simply bad behavior.
