One of the motivations for Wayland was that the X.Org was becoming

Is it really unmaintainable, or is it that programmers just cannot be
arsed to learn how to maintain someone else's code?
And how does one person determine that some features are no-longer
needed? It's quite clear that in several years of Wayland being around
that various features needed by people using X have yet to be
implemented.
This whole idea of "I can't work on this, let's throw it all out and
start again" is just incompetence. And you'll find several OS projects
that have spent many years, repeatedly going through that process and
never actually coming to any fruition because of it.
Don't let those people near the kernel code.
