Of the problems in that SO link, I believe only "Isolation between apps" is an ongoing concern; Xorg (at least) hasn't listened to the network by default for a long time (as noted in that answer), but these days it doesn't run the X server as root either. That said, AFAIK yes Wayland does an excellent job of limiting the access that programs have.
