As per the title, the suggested command to enable fractional scaling
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
works, but not in the login screen.

Following this the suggested way to apply the monitor configuration to the display manager in general does not work:
# cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/

The suggested command at the end of this thread does however seem to do the trick and may be a useful addition to the docs:
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

Interesting idea, appreciate the feedback. I'll consider this in the near future.

For now, using the existing command provides fractional scaling once logged in. But I will investigate adding the other option in the near future.

I can agree that this command is to keep in mind.
I've use it, and converted it using ansible a couple years ago for the framework 11.
