Another Wayland compositor I looked at was @ifreund@hachyderm.io's https://isaacfreund.com/software/river/, which I learned about last #FOSDEM!
River is "non-monolithic", which means that you can write your own window manager for it, and it will do the compositing for you.
It also has deeply integrated multi-seat support, and even the simple "tinyrwm" examples I tried work pretty well with multiple seats! 🎉
So… I think it would be an excellent basis to write a new window manager with first-class multi-seat support!

My current Wayland compositor of choice is @YaLTeR@mastodon.online's #niri! <3 It currently doesn't support multiple seats, but back in January I made a patched version for myself that adds a second seat! The next step would be to write a proper "seat manager". https://github.com/blinry/niri/tree/multi-seat
