It would be more of a problem the other way around, if we had to resort to Wayland to get low latency. I think most of us using Linux for gaming and casual stuff are happy to stick to X11 for now and the foreseeable future. It has good support in software, its failure modes are well-documented, and it doesn't add one more layer to the pile of complexity that desktop linux already is; at least, not one us users have to consciously keep in mind as a common source of issues.
