This isn't fundamentally harder than having network transparency in the server, though I fear it will lead to massive inconsistency as different toolkits choose to do transparency in different ways :(((
The other being that no such remoting library is implemented and the reduced remote performances that you described.
Which is why I disagreed with the sentence '[Wayland] is *designed* to be capable of doing everything X can do.'..
