I think it's reasonable to assume that someone else will pick up the development. IIRC Ubuntu 20.04 at least as of now will still go with X.org

No. The Linux stack is pretty much whatever Red Hat says it is. If Red Hat says X is moribund, that will prompt upstreams to drop X support from their toolkits and the other distros will fall in line and go full Wayland. Maybe Slackware will hang on for a couple releases more. No one's going to maintain that big chungus code base just to buck the direction the wind is very obviously blowing.
