Found the problem by downloading and opening Debian's mate-panel_1.27.1-2_amd64.deb: They built the clock,fish, wncklet, and notification area out of process. Out of process applets use Xembed which cannot work on wayland so the applets cannot be loaded.

For wayland support these applets (and all others) need to be built in-process and with wayland support. You can ask Debian to build for wayland as well as x11, or if you don't want to wait compile mate-panel, mate-applets, and mate-media yourself with the in-process and wayland options turned on as needed.

mate-utils also ships an applet (dictionary applet) to which the same considerations apply, as does mate-notification daemon (do not disturb applet).
