No, they are non commercial open source project (Mer). That's where support for Wayland is coming from to Sailfish (besides the drivers of course). Therefore any XWayland integration would have to be added to Mer which is open for participation. So to put is shortly - if you need it, add it.

Jolla does contribute to Mer of course. Focusing on those parts which are needed for their product. But as I said, Mer is open for participation. It's not Jolla's commercial field. I guess if Jolla will be convinced that there is a big demand for XWayland, they'll add it to Mer themselves.
