Does anyone know of any modern displays which have different X and Y
resolution?

There will be cases where zooming doesn't change device-pixel-ratio. Mobile
browsers tend to have a "fast" zoom out which doesn't change the layout
(mostly), and that might not change device-pixel-ratio. I think that's OK
for your use cases as long as device-pixel-ratio reports the ratio as if the
page is "zoomed in".
