Then just use a proxy compositor over your wayland compositor.

Wayland doesn't, IMHO, replace X, so much as it replaces the window
manager. It manages to do this in a way that is clever, so much so that
it /obviates/ X. We don't replace X, we just get rid of it and let the
window manager do the scanout and clientside conversation by itself.
