I'm struggling to think of a use case where going through XWayland is preferable over direct Wayland. It'll just go through Wayland anyway but with extra X11 hacks to convert between the protocols...

What can it possibly fix that running the game under gamescope wouldn't?

Maybe there are X11 specific calls that aren’t fully supported by Wayland?

The only way transition works is setting a date to kill something and then killing it.
