> Support for pbuffers in Mesa Wayland EGL has landed (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/36064). It won't make a difference in the short term since we will need to stick with the current approach (i.e., offscreen wl_surface) for backwards compatibility for some time. Perhaps in a couple of years it may make sense to take advantage of Wayland pbuffer support to simplify the code... if we are still using pbuffers by then :)
