Xorg will live on as a compatibility layer called Xwayland. Beyond that, no. Everyone dealing X on Bare Metal is either running away from the project or getting paid very well to continue maintaining that mess.

The best part of Xwayland's design is how it can go away when it isn't needed anymore.

You aren't stuck dragging Xwayland along behind you forever - when you don't have any X apps, you don't need the compatibility layer.
