The criticism on Wayland usually tends to oversee that its developers are the same that used to work on X.
Several Linux distributions for embedded deployment, ChromeOS and WSL 2 (in the near future), Fedora, Ubuntu, all make use of Wayland

What's the function of the X.org maintainers now? Mainly merging drivers. It's been like this for over a decade, heck back in the old days several bold moves were made for network transparent 3D acceleration with X.org including working patches but it was never realized.
With everybody else going their own way, it might be time to revisit and reinvigorate these efforts.
X.org doesn't really have maintainers, ever since Adam Jackson stepped away as release manager a few years ago. Alan Coopers it merges security patches, but most device driver support is handled in the lower levels now.
note that Alan Coopersmith is paid by Oracle to work on Solaris.
