well, to make some random guesses,  I imagine it will be unstable & unusable.

At best, I would run Xorg on top of wayland, and have the
functionality I have now (or most of it)

This is for science though :)  like the time I installed KDE 4 on my
GMA x3000 board about 2-3 months after the worst state they were ever
in.  [was unstable, and crashed within 5-10 minutes].  Not sure if the
problem was KDE (not known for stability at that time 4.0 or 4.1, not
sure which),  or the git versions of xorg server/mesa/kernel/some
other packages.

In the end, decided I liked fluxbox (and now openbox) better then KDE,
but it was fun :)
