pdfpages works perfectly with both LuaTeX and XeTeX. I've been using it
in LuaLaTeX for quite some time, by the way. Please read the first page
on the package documentation:
http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages/pdfpages.pdf
Currently There are very few things that will not work under luatex, for
now (certain microtype properties, like letter tracking, and little
else). In fact, the current trend is the opposite: many new packages
that are emerging do not work under pdftex. The natural evolution of the
TeX ecosystem is heading to LuaTeX, although it is normal for the TeX
community to be cautious about backward compatibility and still mantain
pdfTeX. But the present is already LuaTeX, clearly. The future, who
knows...
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
