So, here's one thing I need to know: X can open a window on another machine over ssh Can Wayland do the same?

  You can do it with waypipe[1]. But Wayland itself doesn't support remote rendering by choice[2] as it is outside its scope.

    So remote in Wayland is a bag on the side that requires work and integration. Hard pass on wayland right there. At least until it offers RR natively (meaning: I don't have to waste hours of my life to get it working).

      Secure remote in X11 is a bag on the side that requires work and integration. SSH has to explicitly transport it for you, carefully setting it up the right way. Even worse, SSH has to meddle with X11 internals to prevent your desktop session being trivially pwned by the remote.
