I did a clean install of Cosmic, and I chose the minimal installation option, but I'd like to try Wayland. I don't seem to have that option available at login as most internet searches imply I should. Do I need to install a package to get that to show?

Simple search on packages.ubuntu.com gives the result - you need to install one package:
sudo apt install gnome-session-wayland

1I have this package installed; no Wayland-related option shows in my login screen.
I have "Gnome on Xorg", "Ubuntu", and "Unity". The first two appear to do the same thing.

If using kubuntu 19.04, you need to install plasma-workspace-wayland.
From ubuntu wiki:
Plasma Wayland session - Can be installed for testing, but is not supported for 19.04. A Plasma Wayland session can be made available for testing by installing the package plasma-workspace-wayland, however this is not supported. Users needing a stable desktop experience should select the normal 'Plasma' (without Wayland) option at login.
