I'm using a wacom device too ;)

And libinput doesn't try to handle Wacom devices ATM, so it shouldn't
be a problem.

For touchscreen, we'll rely on people to test with hardware, as
always..

Yes, of course.. But it is something pretty easy to document: 
zypper in xf86-input-libinput
restart your system
if mouse isn't acting properly
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*-libinput.conf /etc/X11/
restart
try again
report bugs :)

We are already shipping libinput on Leap. We can ask people who are
willing to help to report issues there. This is to get a higher test
coverage.

My suggestion was more if a big issue is discovered ;)
