But both horribly slow.

I mean, yeah probably makes sense at this point. Nobody is seriously running desktop Linux on RISC-V.
On the other hand nobody is seriously running desktop Linux on PowerPC either. Why do they support that?
Probably going to be 5 years or so until RISC-V gets to the point that you might actually want to use it for "normal" stuff.
I'm just asking for the same level of lag as I get from basic modern remote desktop solutions like Rustdesk, VMware VDI, Chrome, etc. As far as I know these all just capture the desktop, feed it into a standard low latency video codec and bob's your uncle. They achieve very good latency.
I currently use VMware VDI and it runs fine. All of these complex factors you've mentioned are not an issue at all. The only complexity is the actual integration with X/Wayland.
I didn't try xpra because it's basically persistent X forwarding, and I already know that is way too slow. As far as I know Rustdesk, etc. are not rootless. I hadn't considered Moonlight/Sunshine (thought it was just for games) but I would guess that isn't rootless either?
Is it rootless?
I'm using Questa which I believe is a Qt app. Remote X is just waaay too slow. The server is in a different country, but VMware VDI can display apps with no noticeable lag. (But that's pretty much its only redeeming feature.)
Ah the old "I don't make mistakes" classic. Some weapons grade hubris here...
It’s more like I’ve seen the same wheel invented a lot of times and can recognize most tech are basically equally functional.
So... I would recommend at least reading the Wikipedia page for Rust because it's pretty clear that you don't know anything about it at all if you think it is "the same wheel". Rust is the first practical memory safe systems language that doesn't rely on GC for memory safety.
It's basically vaguebooking.
Yeah IIRC it deletes them, which is as mad as you would expect. Maybe they've fixed that since I used it last which was some years ago.
VNC is horribly slow. Also hilariously insecure! I forgot about that...
