Not for the client, or if you want to write a wm and is forced to write a compositor.
And actually I'm not even even convinced about the server if talking about a minimal server like this that insists on DRI/GBM, and ditches all the old rendering cruft.

So build on top of wlroots or something. DWL for example is super small...

Well, you are not really forced to write a compositor these days as there are libraries that do all the heavy lifting for you.
Check out Louvre for example. Or Smithay if you like Rust. And if you want a bit more depth, there is wlroots of course (or the hyprland version). It is not really any harder than writing an X11 WM.
