How generically does this work? Do all major Wayland compositors
(GNOME Shell, KDE KWin, Weston, the Sway/wlroots family, ...) implement
the interfaces that it uses?
If it only works on wlroots-based compositors, or some limitation like
that, then it's still useful for users of those compositors, but the
quoted description seems misleading; saying what the requirements are
would help to set expectations.
As far as I'm aware, some Wayland compositors (including GNOME Shell,
I think) have it as a design goal that unprivileged clients *can't*
make disruptive changes like switching between display modes.
