Based on what I know you may
1. Use Neovim as it supports XDG by default (and only XDG, ~/.vim or
~/.nvim or whatever is not supported).
2. Use symlinks. Will leave symlinks in home directory, of course.
3. Create a shell wrapper (function or alias) which will call Vim
using something like
vim -u ~/.config/vim/init.vim -N "$@"
(path based on Neovim XDG implementation, though note that Neovim
does respect $XDG* variables) and have proper `set runtimepath` and
`set viminfo` commands rewriting default ~/.vim* paths near the top of
`init.vim` (and proper configuration of plugin managers if you use
any).
4. Create your own Vim fork where default paths point to inside ~/.config.
Vim have no problems with any of the variants, the only issue you
theoretically *could* encounter is a *buggy* plugin which expects that
it is placed in ~/.vim directly and nowhere else. Given the existence
of plugin managers which place plugins anywhere, but in ~/.vim
directly (though in many cases somewhere under ~/.vim, but that does
not matter) and existence of Neovim which does not ever use ~/.vim
unless user explicitly configured Neovim to do just that such plugins
are very rare and I would not expect any actively supported plugin to
have any problems even if ~/.vim does not exist at all. If you do have
such plugin and do not want to edit its source code then symlinks are
the only option.
