Yes, but we will not run only on Wayland.  Besides, I wasn't talking
about a "new system", I was referring to what we have now as the PGTK

Being "event-driven" is hardly why GTK is problematic.  A small file
named xgselect.c takes care of the GLib event loop with some clever
code, so we don't have to worry about it anywhere else.
