Wayland breaks your bad software
You... might be able to, kind of, depending on your goal... So the thing is, if all you need is a single screen (or at least, I've not run this multi-monitor) and you're just working around drivers that don't support Xorg, you can just run cage ( https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage ), run xwayland on that, and run your real GUI on that. Of course, then you're skipping all the advantages of wayland except hardware/driver compatibility.
For "real" wayland, sibling comments are correct that you'd need a wayland compositor that reimplemented awesome.

Wayland vs. X – Overview
> As a developer, I needed to port a custom Linux system to hardware that only has Wayland drivers and it was a giant pain. Wayland offers no advantage at all for that system but it broke a lot of functionality that relied on X in terms of window placement, etc.
FWIW, I've had decent luck running cage ( https://www.hjdskes.nl/projects/cage/ ), then on that xwayland, and then just ignoring wayland and running X clients. The result does still have some slight quirks, but it mostly works fine.

Emacs Is My New Window Manager
I thought this was going to be some development news with Wayland compositing going further: https://emacsconf.org/2022/talks/wayland/. Maybe it's because 29.1 was on my mind with the full Wayland client support being released.
If you want to just run one application in a modern way (yes, I'm assuming you agree that Wayland is desirable), then check out https://www.hjdskes.nl/projects/cage/.

Android Games on PC
You can run Wayland inside Xorg via cage[1] so you don't need to use a Wayland compositor.

It's kiosk mode. Sometimes related to POS. You can use https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage (Wayland) for example.

Maybe starting with reimplementing something like this: https://github.com/cage-kiosk/cage would be the easiest?
