By the time we get to that utopia someone will declare Wayland obsolete and we'll all be arguing over how Nextfad is the best/worst thing ever.
And technically, nothing has been stopping the xfce devs or anyone from making their own X11 server / X.org fork if the window manager interface was too limiting.
I have no doubt about it, but for my use-cases Wayland definitely is a step up. It's definitely a first-world-problem, but somehow typing feels more enjoyable at low latency - back when I still had a backup X11 session, I could instantly tell that I had left it on: the mouse cursor, input, everything felt like soup.
