To be able to add applets by pressing 'add' or by dragging into the panel.

Many applets just don't work. Nothing happens when I attempt to add them, such as clock.

Try adding an applet like clock.

That sounds like an installation or packaging issue. If the executable (out of process applet ) or shared object (in-process applet) cannot be found due to say, being in a different directory than specified in the .desktop file in /usr/share/mate-panel/applets this is exactly what happens

mate-sensors-applet, mate-indicator-applet, mate-applets and mate-panel all need to be built with the flag --enable-in-process or --with-in-process-applets=all for Wayland.

Oh yeah: I didn't catch that you were running MATE on wayland! if Arch is shipping applets built out of process they won't work. This includes both the applets shipped with mate-panel and also those shipped with mate-applets, which for 1.28 gained the ability to be built in-process.
