It will never be a popular way to use Wayland because its just a worse design.

It already exists and its called xwayland. Most wayland compositors also have X11 WM inside them...

You misunderstand: I'm not talking about the X protocol, I'm talking about some new all Wayland thing just so window managers can be separated from the other things you'd otherwise have to implement.

Yes and ironically Xwayland is that, but you probably want something like Arcan
