I am running Wayland on an IVB GT1. Your hardware is not possibly shittier than this AND capable of handling modern tasks. Also wayland just needs the infrastructure of doing accelerated draws which if your GPU doesn't support then it won't work with X anyway unless you're running truly exotic 2D accelerators from the 90s
