Thanks to wlroots, many new window manager projects are starting, often inspired directly by particular X window managers:

Define mainstream. Most tilling wm we all know have a wayland branch now. Some abandonware will probably be lost but nothing prevents anyone from re-implementing them.

He already mentioned Window Maker.
In any case X11 isn't going anywhere even if Xorg developers decide to abandon ship, others will pick it up and continue. It isn't like Xorg was the first and only server, it already the third or fourth fork from the original server.
Plus the death of all non-mainstream window managers, it seems.
Realistically, I'm not moving away from X11 if it will create a UI regression for me. This means that unless I can get Window Maker and application forwarding, I'm not moving to Wayland, and I doubt I'm alone in this general feeling, even though other people use different window managers.
