I haven't used linux as my primary OS for many years now. If not X11 or Wayland, what other alternative? Is there some other relevant development going on?

There's Arcan: https://github.com/letoram/arcan . In the words of the developer, it is a "multimedia engine" (a combination of display server, game engine and multimedia framework).

It is an interesting project and the YouTube presentation is pretty convincing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07nqZIFRDJg

A great example of what a motivated and disciplined developer can achieve.

OpenBSD is still actively developing xenocara, which is their fork of X11.

That still counts as "X11" IMO.
