I would take a look at orbital, being the current WM and compositor for redox on how to implement one. preferably once its self-hosted we should look at porting mesa and Wayland over.
As far as I3 goes, there is already a project which is rewriting I3 for Wayland in rust. The project is called sway, if you wanted to create your own from scratch at least you have a reference, but as I said above it would be better to get basic Wayland support once self-hosting is completed then we could easily port sway over. (theoretically)

Yeah your right, I know one of them was written in rust.
