For someone who has not used Gnome in 14+ years you sure seem to know a lot about it...

X11 has effectively already been deprecated for years, seeing little to no development on it. No one should be surprised.

And still, there are SEVERAL Long Term Support distros out there that will support X11 for the coming years. Please stop pretending that stuff will start breaking. It will not.

X11 is complete.

Wayland is incomplete, and is missing essential features like accessibility and automation (ydotool will never have half the features xdotool has).

Except for necessary modern features like different fractional scaling on multiple monitors...

They each fuck with my window arrangement on virtual desktops when rebooting in their own special way. I've switched to Wayland but x11 did feel more polished.
