This is cool, love to see the Haiku / BeOS lineage playing nice with Linux. The graphics stack is ripe for experimentation in the KMS/Wayland era, although I don't have enough knowledge of the architectural differences to know why this makes sense as an alternate stack and not just a compatibility layer built into a Wayland compositor...

I doubt wayland would play nice with their

Nexus, an internal communication layer that manages messaging between system components.

Yeah, I picked that up, but is that so novel it can't just be a layer on DBus or something? Again, I don't know shit, it's just rich IPC seems like a solved problem at this point.
