I'm also a heavy user of an X-only window manager (xmonad). Learning about this makes me wonder if I should start learning how to work with another window manager so I'm not caught off guard when something stops working.

Do you know about Waymonad? It's supposedly Xmonad for Wayland and uses wlroots like sway.
I've heard of it, not sure how mature it is these days. Maybe I'll give it another look
I'm really attached to stumpwm, which is also X-only. We have been hearing reports of the pending death of X for at least the past decade, so I'm never certain how seriously to take them, but I've kept an eye on what looks like the closest thing to a wayland implementation of stumpwm (https://github.com/malcolmstill/ulubis).
You could try to transition to the sway wayland compositor (which is largely compatible with i3wm) or maybe to https://github.com/letoram/arcan which is a lot more programmable than sway
XMonad is (pardon the phun) very high level and a switch to any other window system should be trivial.
