Here's what your typical Linux system looked like in 2003. We've come so far.
There's also a Wayland WM directly inspired by ratpoison! https://github.com/project-repo/cagebreak

Actually functional compositors, and querying their protocol capabilities : mirroring screens
That's true for a lot of libraries, you have to maintain the code, I would treat that as a fact of life, It might be worth noting there are some projects designed to provide a high level abstraction over wlroots which might be different: cage -> used by cagebreak phoc -> used by phosh and wayfire -> used by swayfire.

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
cagebreak as far as i can tell is a one man project (it uses cage to provide a high level abstraction over wlroots).

Writing a Wayland compositor is MUCH harder than it should be
I also remembered cagebreak (wayland window manager). it uses cage (which is defined as a "wayland kiosk" but might also be used as a high level abstraction over wlroots).

EXWM and Wayland
Anyway, like you I also wanted to see how far I could go on Wayland. After trying out a number of wms I settled on cagebreak which is modeled on ratpoison. It's still in early development but worked well enough for me to give it a semi daily driver status. It works really well with emacs too, without the single-thread issue. I went for a pure Wayland experience (without XWayland as well), so I couldn't some apps I normally use - but I was able to create something quite close to my xorg setup.

Of course, you'll have to find replacements for some X programs, I recommend you visit https://arewewaylandyet.com/ and take a look. :D
