IIRC libinput taking over on wacoms a year ago caused a lot of headache for me. The precision for drawing tiny circles, straight lines, and wobbly issues were drastically different than evdev, I am unsure if the problem lay in libinput or wacom's driver but it basically rendered thousands of dollars of equipment useless until we could figure out how to hack the configuration file and disable libinput for handling the tablet input.
I can see that Gnome doesn't want to maintain this burden for what 3-5 years extra so I can see that they are letting canonical shoulder this burden without them & mainline.
It's the kind of thing where sometimes it matters and when it does it probably matters a whole lot.
