More than ever, GNOME and Plasma are getting way ahead of other desktop environments
MATE & LXQt already have partial Wayland support. Ubuntu MATE team is using Mir to run MATE on Wayland. Upstream LXQt wants to use KWin but a developer already runs LWQt on Mutter. Expect them on Wayland soon. Cinnamon is going to rebase muffin on a newer version of Mutter, which may bring Wayland support with it. With the move to CSDs, Xfce seems to also start work on Wayland support not too far away in the future. While Xorg will continue to thrive, the way to Wayland isn’t that convoluted anymore.

As is plain from this and this, these efforts are in collaboration with upstream.

LXQt 1.0.0
Some sort of bring-your-own-compositor adventure at the moment, if I'm reading this issue correctly [0].
The thread did mention PaperDE [1] however , which you might want to look at if you're interested in a lightweight Wayland + QT environment.

Dvorak keyboard with Qwerty shortcuts on Wayland
As a result I'm studying the wayland architecture (I like gnome so the compositor would be Mutter) so that I can figure out how to either make a hack or make something legitimate. This is proving time consuming.

River: A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
Wayland is a protocol - not an implementation. It tries to minify latency by merging together some of the components X11 had and tries to do this in a slim and faster way.
The implementation of the protocol may differ, but I know for example MUTTER (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter)
This article has nice and not too complex visualisations: https://www.secjuice.com/wayland-vs-xorg/

LWQt Wayland DE 2nd Demo
Stock Mutter - in contrast to this fork of it - would not work either.

GNOME Shell & Mutter Prepare For GNOME 42 Alpha With Exciting Improvements | Phoronix
I mean look at the gnome-shell and mutter changelogs. Thats an impressive amount of significant fixes & improvements.
What are some alternatives?
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
docklike-plugin - A Dock-like Taskbar Plugin for XFCE
wayfire - A modular and extensible wayland compositor
polybar-themes - A huge collection of polybar themes with different styles, colors and variants.
imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
gnome-shell - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell
dash-to-panel - An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.
