When you try to research the topic it seems many people confuse Remote Desktop with Remote Control.
Remote Desktop is multiple remote sessions with different users, Remote Control is remote access sharing the desktop session of the currently logged in user.
I cannot switch to wayland until Remote Desktop is supported.
A Wayland session is defined by a running Wayland compositor. No remote access to the Wayland session is possible as long as the compositor is not running. So the only possible mode of remote access *is* Remote Control in your definition. KWin supported virtual backend for almost 10 years and "kwin_wayland --virtual" should work. If your KDE session enables remote access you should be able to connect remotely to "kwin_wayland --virtual". What is missing is Display Manager layer where you could connect to the system, authenticate and have your session started. That is what you define as Remote Desktop. Or to put it differently - it is not possible transparently, you cannot replace connection to one compositor (greeter session) by connection to another compositor (user session). But vncserver mode should work - ssh into the remote system and start some script that launches headless Wayland session, then connect to it using your program of choice.
