rootless Weston used for Wayland on X11 on demand? #WaylandX

We have XWayland for running X11 apps on Wayland, but I'm not seeing a drop-in solution for Wayland apps on X11.

The idea is to allow users to run Wayland-only applications on X11 environments (Xfce4 etc.) on demand.

I can do weston --backend=x11-backend.so --renderer=gl --fullscreen --width=1920 --height=1200 locally, but this approach spawns the full shell.

If there is an existing solution I'm missing, I would be grateful for pointing me to it.
