A lot of the things that Stack Overflow claims you need X tools for can also be accomplished using sysfs. Without knowing the details of what you're doing I can't give you any specifics. I maintain an embedded Linux system which uses Wayland as a compositor for Qt. I use sysfs to EG turn off cursors and set the display mode so I can blit a splashscreen. And sysfs can be used to rotate the console, change display modes, etc.. On my desktop I don't use any of the tools you're listing and haven't needed then for almost 12 years. The wm handles that for me.
