You'll still need all the client-side GTK/QT/KDE infrastructure, even with X.
And you certainly wouldn't need to run the full KDE/GNOME environment with future-Wayland-remoting. From your point of view nothing is going to change.

The client side stuff is fine. It's the privileged rendering pieces (setuid this, kernel modules that) which are root kit fodder and that I'd never put on a network accessible server. Security--least privilege, safe and prudent memory manipulation, etc--is the last thing the guy writing OpenGL optimizations is thinking about.
It's the same reason WebGL is becoming exploit city.
