A long, long time ago I implemented virtual outputs in Mir: https://github.com/canonical/mir/pull/3056
I forget if we've added dynamic configuration for them, but I don't see why it wouldn't be a possibility of we had upstream support there :)

I've been working on a new Wayland compositor called Miracle for about two years now. I recently built a plugin system for window management based off of WebAssembly. Check out my blog post for more information, but I think it is a solid and novel approach to separating window management from the compositor in Wayland. Let me know what you think!
What are your thoughts on going even further than Niri? Virtual outputs has some people asking for it. I'd be interested to hear how you think that might be modelled, how the plugin system might be able to express that. Stilch is the main Wayland example I know today with virtual outputs, https://github.com/wegel/stilch
