XFWM4 has similar functionality, but the bug so far is that the heuristics to detect when something is fullscreen is not triggering for the cases we looked at (the various PTS gaming/graphics tests). For now we've disabled compositing but we're still poking at seeing if we can correct the heuristics
I've never figured out why Xfce went for compositing to begin with. If it's supposed to be lightweight, just forget about compositing. Iirc, it doesn't do animations anyway so its windows are always rectangles, not using compositing can't hurt it that much.

afaik, compositing allows it to have shadows and trasparency, also smoother window movements.
I know that for KDE users compositing = "wobbly windows" (you say "its windows are always rectangles"..... hmmm?), but it's not the main feature of compositing.
Although also afaik XFCE compositor has always been very very meh, and the only way to get good compositing was switching to Compton or even Compiz.
