I don't share your optimism. I use the digital ID systems of 3 different countries quite frequently and only 1 out of 3 is currently working properly. The Australian one is bad, the French one is not that great. The one is Sweden actually works flawlessly most of the time. Most importantly, Who will build this wallet? I am sure it will be a big bloated corporation that will be chosen not because they are the best or because they work is of good quality. We can expect the project going over budget many times and continuous delays and a cool 90's retro feel. I am afraid that it will be so bad that this thing will be dead in the water. Not too mention that it will probably take 5 years before we see a prototype...

I think we’ll be able to use the wallet app we want since they should all be compatible.

Bank ID (the Swedish e-identity provider the user I'm replying to is talking about) is one of the primary inspirations for eIDAS from what I understand, but there are several improvements in the eIDAS text as it stands right now, primarily zero-knowledge proofing. I don't share your pessimism about the development time-frame for this, we already have 2 good more-or-less compatible wallets on the market in Sweden, Bank ID and Freja, if the companies behind those want to they could probably compete for becoming the standard implementation in many markets, meaning very little time before it's operational.
