In the end it is up to your choice. If you pick a WM (or DE) that does
support Wayland, nothing stops your from using Wayland in Alpine.
However, if the WM (or DE) does support only X11, there is nothing
Alpine can (or will) do about that. If you want the Wayland support
there, you need to go ask upstream of those projects. Alpine just ships
whatever is upstream.

At least that is mine understanding of Alpine policies on the matter.
