The input support is done via XKB (xkbcommon), thus making all keyboard layouts for the X.org graphical environment available for input." and here you have a nice guide for arch if you wanna test it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KMSCON
so it really like this
kernel+VT+shell <-- before
kernel+KMScon+shell <-- now
all other demons you point are not to replace VT but for implement a proper advanced system compositor which is completely unrelated to VT
hope it helps
