It's not so bad like the article author describes, there is work being done to address the input issue e.g. libei and wayland protocols. (also N.Graham answer that says that it should be done on wayland level if they require universal solution is right if a bit unkind)

And how many years will it take before this reaches a usable state, when people need (not just want) it now?

First, it is usable just not the way Talon requires (and its developer doesn't want to support wayland). Second people can use LTS distributions that will ship X11 for many years, and by that time it will either be good enough or won't.
