That is absolutely true and needs to be taken into account - all the major Desktop Environments and more(Plasma, GNOME, Budgie, ...) are dropping X support in the foreseeable future, so Calibre *WILL* be stuck on XWayland and its associated issues on a Wayland system.

Distributions are dropping X support too, albeit more slowly than the DEs and other software.
@kovid: as you said sometime in the last few months, perhaps it really is getting to the point where dropping support for Linux desktop makes sense. Not only is a few % of the user base (Linux) the source of an enormous percentage of bug reports, as said above "calibre *WILL* be stuck" with an ecosystem that doesn't work.

Keeping the Linux standalone content server should probably be doable, with the possible exception of the packaging issues.
