Wayland is optimized for car entertainment systems and digital signage. Is this your 99% case?

Not true. E.g. several Gtk2.x rendering backends utilized XRender to draw Buttons with gradients without a single bitmap in shared memory.

The X11 extension "Present" does exactly the same as Wayland concerning "synchronization features". What exactly can Wayland do that X11 can't do?
