It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad
LXQt: I think they are working on it but not sure how far along they have gotten https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/10
Take a look to Vivarium It is more recent it worked decently and it is remakably easy to config.
Here's one of many forks of an awesome-wayland repository that lists what's going on: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland
I'm seriously considering finally making the move to Wayland soley because of Hyprland. I used SWAY a bit awhile back, but ended up ditching it because I couldn't get HiDPI scaling working right. Currently, I run a mix of LeftWM and BSPWM. I had been following the (Hyprland) project for awhile, but just recently saw a page in their wiki on the "Dwindle Layout", which supposedly splits like BSPWM. I recently switched from polybar to eww which is suppose to work on Wayland too, which would reduce the need for re-ricing a bit. IMHO, the bottom line for those of us who prefer to avoid running full DEs, I think wlroots is going to make or break Wayland.

Labwc is a wlroots-based window-stacking compositor for wayland, inspired by openbox.
cagebreak as far as i can tell is a one man project (it uses cage to provide a high level abstraction over wlroots).
I remember when Blackbox was the only *box.
I haven't seen https://github.com/luamfb/wlstem mentioned in the comments so I'm dropping it here. I'm really hoping something like this takes off. I was also an xmonad user and mostly dislike how sway/i3 does tiling, so I've been also hopig for vivarium, river, hyprland to get to the feature support and stability of sway.
Over at river we'd like to disagree. We are only few, yet we have a well-featured compositor, thanks to wlroots.
A few projects like AwesomeWM, and Herbsluftwm have had discussions on their issue trackers about supporting Wayland but a lot of them devolve into "Hey when will this be ready" style of comments, there's an interest in doing it but nobody is personally willing to take on the challenge
