Thank you. It turns out I had other cruft in the way that was forcing
x11. I cleaned up .xinitrc to just the env var settings and
"dbus-launch startplasma-wayland" and launch by ". .xinitrc" with no
startx involved. Now instead of X I have Xwayland (still belongs to
xorg-server package) and no x11 processes at all. I still don't have a
system tray so I'll have to hunt through console errors (there are a
few) to see if I can resurrect it or if I need to just add a new one
from scratch.

P.S.: If you are on systemd just run 'dbus-launch startplasma-wayland'
directly after login on the terminal.
I don't know if there is an equivalent to .xinitrc that can launch
other
important commands before the DE.
