If X11 is well and truly on the way out by then, I'll be all for GTK5 dropping X11 support. It doesn't seem like much of the world beyond Gnome is on Wayland but GTK is everywhere. If that remains the case, a Wayland only GTK (that didn't accept X11 patches) would probably result in a massive fork.
I generally use Gnome on my Linux laptop. I often find myself switching it to be Gnome on X rather than Gnome on Wayland. This isn't based on any explicit preference (I genuinely don't care), but I usually encounter some glitchiness that goes away when I take Wayland out of the picture.
