Yeah, that is the problem with Wayland: the solution to many missing features you get out of the box with X largely depends on the environment you are using.

I don't run a desktop environment in X. I run xmonad and terminals. I don't want a desktop environment in wayland, but it seems like that's the only way to get reasonable functionality because it can't be added piecemeal, only monolithically via the compositor.

This is not enough. you fix this use case but there are many others, maybe I want to make a voice/video chat app or a remote desktop app, I will need full control of the display and keyboards not some gimped implementation that is DE specific.
Wayland needs to offer full access to "power users applications" if not we end up where Windows will be more friendly for the users that need this type of applications
GNOME and I'm pretty sure KDE too has a method to set custom keyboard shortcuts that can execute commands.
