kwin_x11 is feature frozen, this is not going to happen.

To clarify: Commit https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/80aa37c5f2418923710ba5adcc4f3346459abe2d#c08072b934eb49eac3eb8d440fa00a3a992196a9_529_522 says why it was removed:

"Unfortunately, too many tiling things broke. Due to the scale of the
fixes and lack of time to do proper testing, this change reverts
per virtual desktop layouts for 6.3."

We do have many high quality tiling scripting plugins which work fine under Wayland and x11. Just use them.
