There's waypipe, which understands Wayland protocol and tunnels it over a network. It knows about DMABUFs, SHM objects, and a few other bits where Wayland protocol passes a reference to a kernel object over protocol (done via a file descriptor), and converts those into compressed data over the wire, but otherwise tunnels protocol unchanged as-if you were on a local system.
IME, it's better than X remoting over "Internet" latency connections - Wayland has very few round-trips baked into the protocol, so latency is less perceptible.
