What you're proposing would've worked if there were competing teams behind X and Wayland and they could've competed and coexisted.
But Wayland is created by people who maintained and developed X.
Since they have stopped developing X, that means it'll eventually become abandonware, in favor of Wayland.
On a different note, I don't understand what the fuss is all about. X is in a very good shape. If Wayland is not there for you yet, keep using X, until Wayland gets there.

If neither Wayland nor GTK+/KDE get around to solving the remote GPU problem, I think the industry will continue to abandon native GUIs and move everything to JavaScript apps because at least the browser has hardware acceleration. Do I even need a compositor if my browser is the only client? I guess ChromeOS does overlap windows sometimes.

What caused my concern was seeing several posts in the form of "replacing X with Wayland in [application]".
