of course we can use the clipboard on Wayland. I'm happily copy'n'pasting between windows here.

What is different on Wayland is that clipboard is not broadcasted as on X11. It's only available to the window having keyboard focus. As long as a window didn't get keyboard focus, there is no clipboard data.
