That should work just fine, however you seem to imply it was not
possible before to have a compositor without OpenGL.
QtWaylandCompositor is not tied to QtQuick, you can build a compositor
using just QWindow and QPainter, without any OpenGL requirement, and
clients not using OpenGL, such as most qwidget based apps, will work
fine.

Cheers,
Giulio
