Arch falls into the community support category, precisely because issues like this tend to pop up in that distribution (and other "bleeding-edge" rolling distros) and not in any other distro. I have never seen a distro on which /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc isn't executable, and in fact, making that script executable is a requirement for some distribution packaging specs, such as Debian's.

That being said, xstartup.turbovnc will only try to invoke /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc if it fails to find another window manager. It searches for GNOME by default, but for other window managers, you need to either pass -wm to /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver or set $wm in /etc/turbovncserver.conf or ~/.vnc/turbovncserver.conf. The value you pass to -wm or set in $wm should correspond to a session desktop file under /usr/share/xsessions, without the .desktop extension. Refer to https://turbovnc.org/Documentation/Compatibility30 for some common examples.
