I expect GNOME (meaning GNOME Shell on top of GDM) to switch to
Wayland by default in the next year or so. Once that's working well I
would not be surprised if they would remove support for running that
stack with X as system compositor. You would need to ask the GNOME
developers if you wanted more details or confirmation of my
assumptions.
