What distro are you using that doesn't package Xwayland or pipewire-jack? Sure those are compatibility layers, but so is WoW64. The Linux and Windows backcompat strategies aren't all that different here.

pipewire-jack won't work with a program that links libjack statically. Pipewire preloads its own .so and hijacks those library calls.
