Found this PR, which also mentions GLFW initialization error. How to hack around this issue with derivation modifications? Still, I believe this should be fixed via long-term solution at some point.

I've just discovered that this only happens on Wayland. X11 has no issues launching the app.

Not sure if this is connected, but I also have issue with gwe on Wayland: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/319117

should be fixed by #323510
