Not XWT, but it's worth checking out Eto.Forms as it's very robust, uses native components, and you can build UIs using straight C#.

I just spent some time working with Eto.Forms (based upon your recommendation, thanks!). It looks pretty nice and seems straight-forward. I also appreciate that it officially supports F# in addition to the regular C# and VB.NET.

Unfortunately, it doesn't support .NET Core/Standard yet. The lead dev, Curtis Wensley (@cwensley), is currently working on supporting it and said that he hopes to have to completed in time for the Eto 2.4 release, per their Gitter chat (https://gitter.im/picoe/Eto?at=59d65ab4177fb9fe7e41ff9e).

Another interesting detail is that Avalonia seems to be using Eto's parser implementation. And Eto is (will?) using AvaloniaUI's (the parent of Avalonia) monomac implementation.
