Remote X11 still has its uses. I use it too, over LAN connections (~0.5 ms ping and > 500 Mbit/s bandwidth), and I also VNC to a macOS and RDP to a Windows one. The problem the native painting was meant to solve was that of *low* bandwidth or high latency X11 (or both). X11 was never good[*] for this and has become massively worse in the last 2 decades, with client-side fonts, client-side painting, etc. In fact, the VNC and RDP experience are often better than remote X11.
