@Tionisla It's hard to read the future.
I really like sddm, it is Wayland compatible, works nicely, looks nice and is customizable.
I get why a desktop environment may want to have its own session manager.
I guess Xfce is the way forward? It may be time for the FreeBSD community to engage the developers of other DE's to understand intentions re: systemd.
As far as I know the only DE's that have Wayland momentum are Budgie, MATE, LXQt, Cinnamon. Are Budgie or Cinnamon available in FreeBSD? Pantheon (elementary) is Wayland but I suspect it is closely tied to systemd .
GhostBSD's Gershwin is intriguing but sounds like it's early days for Wayland support.
DE's are an easy button that I appreciate but I guess going back to old skool methods like rolling yer own desktop using something like Wayfire, labwc, hikari, etc, with ly, lightdm, sddm is future proof(ish).
With KDE abandoning sddm will it be maintained? That's another question.
