Support for Wayland in tkinter would start with support for Wayland in Tk itself, and Tk does not support Wayland at the moment according to this Tk issue.
According to that issue adding support for Wayland to Tk is a large amount of work, likely several person-years worth of work.

Which would presumably also be several person-years of work (and for the Python core devs, rather than the Tk team).
From reading the ticket Ronald pointed to, using Xwayland is the way to go at the moment - until a corporate sponsor comes along to fund a port of Tk to Wayland.
Calling it “crazy” is a bit strange, since the entire point of tkinter
is to be a wrapper around Tk.
