There isn't a large list of wlroots-based compositors. Sway, and some niche projects like wayfire (hyprland recently migrated away from wlroots). And none of those would be suitable as something to build a DE on top of.

They started with smithay which is like wlroots for rust. And their efforts should enable a large rust ecosystem on wayland.
