This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think having a DRM-encumbered application running in the background that relies on another large application to launch just so you can have a fancy wallpaper is kind of dumb.

Wallpaper Engine only requires Steam running during setup and grabbing stuff from workshop. After that, it works independently.
