Yeah, my worry has recently been the opposite: That at least from afar they seem onboard the same Wayland track as the other DEs just at a slower pace.
As long as Xorg is around I hope Xfce never deprecates X.

Quote from your link:
"It is not clear yet which Xfce release will target a complete Xfce Wayland transition (or if such a transition will happen at all)."
One problem is I think Xfce has no paid developers, it's all spare time.
