Ultra lightweight KDE and / or wayland distro / DE?

I'm currently playing around with an old cherry-trail tablet and trying to bring some life back into it. The specs are extremely low and I've tried a couple of distros with it. By far the best out of box experience has been fedora KDE with wayland. It's usable, just a touch on the slow side, so wondering if anybody had any ideas?

Specs:

4 core 1ghz cherry trail processor

2gb ram

32gb emmc storage

I had a good experience with linux mint MATE - however there was much configuration to do and the onscreen keyboard was kinda horrible

Same story with the various ubuntu spins - lubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu

I feel like anything running on x11 has issues with "native" touchscreen support - hold to click and dragging etc. As such I was looking for something that fully supports wayland since it all seems integrated and is so much nicer to use

Is there a "light" desktop environment that fully supports wayland, or is there a way to "debloat" KDE to make it faster on such a low spec machine? I already have animations turned off and disabled zram in place of 4gb disk swap (I know that's more of a fedora thing)

Thanks
