I just got a custom ad, so it’s working also on brave-bin from AUR.

So I confirm ads are showing with the following flags:

--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--ozone-platform=wayland

It could be also that it’s working even without these flags because the changes in 1.30 were determining to fix the issue. It has to be tested.

Thank you all for helping resolve this issue. I will discuss internally to see if there is a better way for Wayland users.
