In KWin we still only support v3, but I currently have a patch up for
review to support v4: https://phabricator.kde.org/D15910. Until the
next Xserver is released, a version of KWin with this support should
have been released and systems with older KWin versions wouldn't use
the latest Xserver version. So from KWin's side I think it shouldn't
be a problem.

Of course there are other compositors, but one would assume that a
compositor with Xwayland support on latest Xserver is able to speak v4
or should be made ready to do this quickly.
