That's pretty cool! My immediate reaction to hearing "minimal backup DE for troubleshooting" is wondering why that isn't far more common
I think this is nice but also adds some bloat.
Like that OpenSUSE model only works if both use XOrg, so if XOrg breaks it doesnt work.
On Wayland, either DEs get their shit together and share libraries, or GNOME, KDE, Wayfire, labwc, COSMIC, and in the future XFCE, Cinnamon and more all use their own stuff.
This would mean you need to add another wayland compositor and the GUI stuff.
There is a bit of a lack of complete minimal DEs. Raspberry Pi has their stuff based on Wayfire, LXQt 6.1 will be wayland ready and can be used with many compositors.
These would be good candidates, but really what is a broken Desktop?
But I will do a post in Fedora discuss about this, even though I dont think the Atomic variants need it.
