My workflow via XFCE

I attempt to write a desktop env like xfce. I would like to discuss, if xfce could ditch GTK+ on wayland.

Perhaps you're looking for LXDE/ LXQT. The latter is only the WM (think of it as more barebones). There are plenty other WMs, check distros and their (frequently unofficial) spins like "archbang"..

I'm happy on Debian! I wouldn't switch, I am not disliking QT or GTK. The first iteration needs to reuse these components anyways!

Use LXQt or sway.

I am not against GTK+. I love XFCE. My motivation is to implement my workflow in wayland from scratch so that I can reuse everything needed.

Even though I am using okular and xfce and have all dependencies around I would like to keep it to my minimum.

Lightly weight clients should form an os (Ger: OS/BS).

It requires to be understood and written easily . British English is the common denominator in written English because it is more precise.

Language shall be formulated so that it matches european, common grammar - like this.
