In case you missed it, LXQt and Xfce both support Wayland now
(lxqt-project.org)
Both don't ship with their own Wayland compositor, but there are enough to choose from.
Xfce comes with a wayland session using labwc out of the box, but was also tested with Wayfire. The devs state you shouldn't hold your breath waiting for the native window manager xfwm to be ported into a Wayland compositor, since they don't know if/when it will be done. Almost all other Xfce components support Wayland now, while retaining X11 compatibility.
LXQt's newest stable release has full Wayland support, with 7 different Wayland compositors to choose from within a GUI settings menu: Labwc, KWin, Wayfire, Hyprland, Sway, River and Niri

I used sway for quite a while and after the initial setup (which was very finniky) it was alright to use. But then you start to notice little things that annoy you and by that time you've forgotten where that setting was in the config. For Linux noobs like me it's not great long-term. If you like having all your DE settings in a config file sure, use it, but I'm going back to KDE.
