Although developments have slowed down due to the pandemic and now the collapse of the dutch cabinet, the Privacy by Design Foundation and SIDN, who jointly develop and run IRMA, have been in talks and developing pilots with the Ministry of the Interior of the Netherlands to become an accepted party ("toegelaten partij") under the WDO. That would mean that when the WDO comes into effect, the ministry issues basic personal data to IRMA apps, and IRMA becomes one of the ways in which citizens can authenticate to services alongside DigiD.

Good to hear. Availability via the TVS is a must for vendors though, but you are probably aware of this.

I also wonder how something like IRMA will work when not only DigiD is used via the TVS, but also DigiD Machtigen to grant others permission to act on your behalf.
