as another data point, i've tried in an emacs with --with-x-toolkit=no
and it works well for me in a regular window manager (e.g. xmonad) with
picom as the compositor.  however, alpha-background doesn't work well in
exwm (while alpha does; alpha-background tints the background of the
window but doesn't show the underlying desktop wallpaper). that might
well be a problem in exwm rather than on emacs's side, though.

cheers,
