I was about to give hyprland a try to see what the wayland offerings were like but after I saw that thread yesterday, I think I'm just going to stick to the screen tearing beauty of xmonad.

I recommend sway. Vivarium uses desktop semantics inspired by xmonad. niri is an interesting scrollable tiling window manager.

Thanks for the recommendations! Niri is very interesting as a proof of concept.

Vivarium looks like its not very actively developed which is sorta sad. I'm going to need to do more research into what's around. There's a lot of toy projects out there but not as many mature offerings.

It does seem XMonad is looking for help with a Wayland version: https://discourse.haskell.org/t/xmonad-for-wayland-call-for-help/7812

Hm if I was more familiar with Haskell and Wayland I'd jump in on that. I barely learned enough Haskell to configure my setup and I've been going all in on learning Rust in the recent months. I fear I may actually be too dumb for a fully functional language.
