Keith Packard and Alan Coopersmith, maybe, but the younger devs—those knowledgeable about graphics and GPUs anyway—no. There's no path forward for X11. It's a dead end.
Even Xwayland is just barely supported it seems. It was only intended as a compatibility layer for legacy applications. How long is such legacy support intended to continue? A decade? Two decades? The major toolkits now have Wayland code paths, and that's where the focus is. By 2030 their X code paths will be removed altogether. Xwayland itself is probably slated for deprecation and removal also.
Xlibre is a joke, maintained by an incompetent nazi.

So here's the thing about X11.
Nobody wants to work on it.
