Mesh central isn't a replacement as it solves different problems
Aren't they both remote desktop apps?
Meshcentral allows a admin to control machines from a admin panel. Rustdesk allows for a person (doesn't need to be admin) to get into another machine if they are authenticated.
The authentication is the key. If you install the mesh agent on your machine you no longer control that device. It is effectively remote management.
True, those are pretty different use cases.
Do you know of any RD app that works nice with Wayland and supports RD from the DE login screen?
What your asking for probably isn't going to be available as Wayland has stronger security restrictions. They only way I know of to do this would be to dump the display buffer continuously and then send inputs via udev. That would be problematic to do and I doubt if there is any software that can do it. If there is it would likely need to run as root.

I believe I've read something similar for kwin, I'll update my post if I find it.
