Options for Wayland are a bit less antiquated. Here’s a couple.

If you are ever using a wlroots based Wayland compositor, then wayvnc becomes an option for RDP. (Note: haven’t personally used this.)

Waypipe offers network transparency to Wayland, where by you can run applications across the network. I believe this should work with roughly any compositor.

There was an RDP backed in wlroots, but it was recently removed in favor of wayvnc. My guess is that it works as well as RDP. You can still connect to other RDP instances just fine using FreeRDP.

RFB isn't RDP

The bottom of the Waypipe README says: "This is usable, but still somewhat unstable right now".
