In case people here have missed - You can try out newest xfce (4.20) on wayland.
Xfce Wayland Development Roadmap wrote:
A wlroots compositor is almost a prerequisite for most core components (as well as panel plugins and some apps), at least to ensure that all features ported to Wayland are available. The default compositor is labwc, but wayfire is another wlroots compositor on which tests have generally been carried out.

To start an Xfce session on Wayland, you can run startxfce4 --wayland from a tty, which will launch xfce4-session from labwc. If you want to use wayfire instead, you'll need to run startxfce4 --wayland wayfire and add this configuration first, as wayfire doesn't have a --startup option like labwc (see startxfce4 --help for details):

~/.config/wayfire.ini:

    [autostart]
    session = xfce4-session



Configuration adaptations may be required for other compositors as well, if they also don't have a --startup option to pass to startxfce4.
