Seems like this would be a good option here:
https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/145382/remove-hide-mouse-cursor-when-idle-on-rasbperry-pi-os-bookworm/145390#145390

I've had success with installing the [hideaway](https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/hideaway) plugin for [Interception Tools](https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools) using the script below.
Adapted from https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=358285#p2176499
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# hide mouse in wayland raspbian
sudo apt install -y interception-tools interception-tools-compat
sudo apt install -y cmake
cd ~
git clone https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/hideaway.git
cd hideaway
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
sudo cp /home/$USER/hideaway/build/hideaway /usr/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/hideaway
cd ~
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ugotapi/wayland-pagepi/main/config.yaml
sudo cp /home/$USER/config.yaml /etc/interception/udevmon.d/config.yaml
sudo systemctl restart udevmon
```

Research direction
Start by reviewing the supplied Bash installation script and config.yaml, then check how xiosk configures kiosk mode on Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm and Wayland. Validate the Interception Tools and hideaway approach on the target environment; done means the mouse cursor hides when idle without breaking kiosk input.
