IIRC The problem with X11 is the ordering is not deterministic accross reboots,
we simply can't use it.

What if you have two HDMI ports ?
Then X11 is not deterministic.
Ports and ordering are useless here, you always need a better source of truth.
For linux that's libdrm and the serialnumber
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm.
But Even then we have trouble because screens by some manufacturers can share
the exact same serialnumber...
