It could be replacement of JoinMarket-Qt which need full node since Wasabi Wallet 1.0 is one of very few SPV desktop wallet with strong privacy feature (Tor by default and BIP 157 implementation).
If you don't want to run a full node then I would suggest Sparrow wallet as the next best option to access coinjoins.

I completely forget about Whirlpool feature on Sparrow. But without running your own Bitcoin Core/Electrum server, the other option is only using public Electrum server (which simply send list of address) with optional proxy feature[1]. Although it looks like they recently add sending mixed coin to address on different wallet[2], which could be handy if user is careful enough to change public server when opening different wallet.

It's valid best next option for those who don't run their own Bitcoin Core/Electrum server, but average user is likely to make mistake and weaken their own privacy.
