Having the display server setting the tittlebar instead of the application is a start with server side decoration.

Would this mean that my xterm wouldn't be able to print the prompt in the window title?

By default yes.
Though one possibility would be to have two parts in the tittlebar one set by the server (safe from tempering) and another set by the client.

And what would the safe bit print? "xterm"? "X terminal emulator"? "/usr/bin/xterm"? "./a.out"?
