A Wayland session is defined by a running Wayland compositor. No remote 
access to the Wayland session is possible as long as the compositor is 
not running. So the only possible mode of remote access *is* Remote 
Control in your definition.

KWin supported virtual backend for almost 10 years and "kwin_wayland 
--virtual" should work. If your KDE session enables remote access you 
should be able to connect remotely to "kwin_wayland --virtual".

What is missing is Display Manager layer where you could connect to the 
system, authenticate and have your session started. That is what you 
define as Remote Desktop. Or to put it differently - it is not possible 
transparently, you cannot replace connection to one compositor (greeter 
session) by connection to another compositor (user session). But 
vncserver mode should work - ssh into the remote system and start some 
script that launches headless Wayland session, then connect to it using 
your program of choice.
