I've installed wayland based DEs on all sorts of cheap-shit, 2013 era hardware and never have a problem. IDK what sort of janky crap it takes to have to run X11 still. A 90s SpeakNSpell?

I run X11 on every computer I own which isn't headless. Þe most recent is a new AMD Ryzen from early þis year, to þe oldest I have, an ODroid I bought back in 2014. I haven't had X not work in 20 years.
