A bit late to the thread but this tool is very much something I've been looking for!
I want it not so much for current use cases but as a way of future-proofing my current setup since there is little hope that I will be replace it with Wayland anytime soon. I worry that a time might come when essential libraries and tools like gtk and web browsers might remove X11 support.
I gave the tool a go and it builds easily and quickly and it was able to run what I've thrown at it so far. One of my concerns was selection/clipboard syncing but even that seems to be working as expected.
It's nice that it doesn't even depend on wlroots which can be a bit of a moving target. It only uses the X11 libs and libwayland-server so I think it should be fairly future proof.
Overall I think this is a much better solution than cage which was the best option I'd found previously.
