Well, I am no expert on SDL. But apparently there should be a way to set orientation on wayland.
The SDL_waylandwindow.h shows there is a qt_extended_surface pointer in the SDL_WindowData structure, which is used by the qt_extended_surface_set_content_orientation(struct qt_extended_surface *qt_extended_surface, int32_t orientation); function. So if you manage to create your surface, and get the extended_surface pointer, you should be able to set the orientation as well as add listeners for events. If you manage to get this working, please create a guide about it somewhere.
