X11 is dead, stop wasting time on it

It's not dead if people are still developing and using it.

You are right, it's more like zombieware. No noteworthy DE wants to support it anymore, yet is has not been dropped completely

No noteworthy DE

You mean, Gnome or KDE? KDE hasn't announced they're dropping X, AFAIK.

There are a great many window managers that don't support Wayland. If herbstluftwm ran on Wayland, I'd try switching again. But it doesn't, and the project has stated they have no intention of adding support.
