I wonder if this would help with HiDPI monitors and Xwayland apps looking blurry

I don't think so. This lets you run entire desktop on Xwayland, can't see how would that help. Problems with no mixed DPI on Xwayland is due to no mixed DPI on X in general. Currently some compositors work around the issue by letting apps use the native resolution and scale how they want, but by adding mixed DPIs will cause all sorts of issues anyway.
