There are a few places where Krita still has some defines for checking whether it \
runs on X11. Those probably should be your first focus.

There are two parts to this problem: the first is tablet support in Qt itself. Until \
recently, we had our own tablet code for X11 and Windows in Krita, but that's no \
longer used. I didn't really check recently whether Qt was adding tablet support for \
Wayland already, so that needs investigation.
Coincidentally, I just got mail from Aleix Pol asking me for test devices because \
he's working on wacom tablet support in kwin-wayland, so that might be pretty close!

Please join us on irc if you have questions (#krita), get an invent.kde.org account \
and fork Krita and hack on it! Your work is _really_ welcome!
