Xwayland clients use the normal X11 API to set cursors. Xwayland just forwards them through the Wayland protocol. The env variable for cursor size is the same on Wayland and X11, so there should not be any difference.

I'm not sure what exactly you want to look into. Personally I had the feeling that apps started to act crazy concerning cursor sizes - on Wayland and on X11. Normally there just should not be any difference. There's one env variable controlling it and if all apps would just use it and not do crazy stuff instead it would just work.
