The VRR issue can be solved with a simple patch that never got merged into mainline (no idea why). Hence it's not inherently a X11 problem and honestly also a rather niche problem compared to the humongous deficits Wayland brings.

Mixed DPI works perfectly fine on X11 if the toolkit supports it. The xrandr protocol provides all the necessary dpi information. GNOME simply chose not to support it on X11.
