Being a happy i3 user, as promising as sway is, I was disappointed last time I tried it, due to usability concerns to do with very basic functionality.
Specifically, the necessary hops for just setting the keymap.

Sure. Which needs to be in the env sway gets passed. Which makes for some seriously ugly wrapper script needed, just to pass the stupid variable.

I think you're missing the point. It'll be a shame if sway 1.0 is released like this.
Can you do the same with sway without restarting it?
Changing your keymap at runtime is something we hope to have in sway 1.0. We'd also like to support multiple keyboards with different keymaps and even configuring which keymap you use on specific windows.
I'm looking forward to giving Sway and Wayland a try.
