Not sure what you're referring to. I'm using wayland and I can open multiple desktops via gdm.

I think he means multiple simultaneous seats, and IIRC this is a limitation of systemd-logind, not wayland itself (it works on seatd, though that makes you manage your own XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, so I guess pick your poison).

Sure, if you're willing to multiplex your own XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. Hence "pick your poison".
