Handling shortcuts would be compositor specific. Unlike X, the display server part with Wayland is implemented by the compositors. Wayland itself is just the protocol.

KWin for example allows setting various global shortcuts: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kde-workspace/kcontrol/keys/i...

Would you recommend a given compositor to have something close to LXDE or any other minimal window manager in xorg?

I'm thinking about starting with weston and moving to sway if it doesn't do the job

Sway is probably an interesting option to try, if you want something minimalistic.
