Wayland works differently than X11 in this regard. Using Fedora 40 on a Lenovo Yoga 730, I had to enable Tablet Mode from the KDE settings and then auto-rotation worked fine
Surface devices might be different though, so I can't say too much about them. There may be a specific sensor library or tool required, since Wayland communicates with your device differently than X11
