https://www.enlightenment.org/ as normal you screw up birdie. Enlightenment is funded by Samsung its on that page so like it or not Enlightenment is funded. Enlightenment for the usages Samsung wants in Tizen need to move to wayland for the improved security.
IceWM the lead developer and only developer has decided not to support Wayland it will die out is it current plan.
Before Wayland came a major thing JWM has had a growing bug issue without the personal to deal with it. This includes faults that are in the security fault class.
XFCE is considering there options.
Please remember Sway is a small team with no major company funding. Yes the sway team come out of the decanted fans/developers of the i3 X11 windows manager.
Birdie you skipped over that Sway is only a slightly larger team than LXQt. Enlightenment has more developers than sway but they have had to be splitting their focus between support X11 and doing Wayland.
JWM and IceWM are both is basically a solo developer so critical short on resources to the point a single person gets hit by a bus they are a dead project.
LXQt and XFCE does have more than one primary developer so are very much more healthy projects. Of course Enlightenment is more healthy in developers than LXQT and XFCE.
Migration to Wayland will thin the options mostly remove the projects that were already critically under resourced. Yes majority critically under resourced to maintain a X11 Windows manager they absolutely don't have the resources to take up X11 server maintenance or even take proper care of their own code base.
