Introducing GNOME 46, "Kathmandu"
Oh yeah, no. Multiple entire desktop environments with significant popularity (Cinnamon, MATE) owe their existence today to how universally hated GNOME 3 was, and how obstinant and intolerant the GNOME developers were towards differing opinions that challenged their "vision".
In fact, the same thing is sorta playing out even right now with GTK4 and other GNOME stuff, though I think with somewhat less public spectacle but arguably even larger development efforts behind it:

Start menu icon
Other editions of Solus use Papirus icons (https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/releases), and the Budgie project created its own menu icon recently: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/blob/main/data/icons/actions/budgie-menu-symbolic.svg

I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)
Budgie might be worth checking out (I've used it on Manjaro): https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop It was extremely responsive on a 2009 laptop.
Otherwise whatever AntiX and Puppy use, which are mouse-driven UIs, are probably lower-resource than Budgie.

what is the status of budgie DE?
You might try asking at their official GitHub page or read thru the wiki there and see if it gives some info.

don't get me wrong, Linux is great and it's my daily driver, but... who pays for everything?
You claim that Solus doesn't have any, but the budgie desktop has over 70 different contributors. https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/graphs/contributors

Vala Programming Language
I just learned that the Budgie Desktop is written in Vala.
https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop
Also, on Arch I use Pamac as a GUI for package management and it is written in Vala as well.
I have used apps for quite a long time before realizing they were written in Vala. Not great for marketing but otherwise I would consider that one of its strengths.

Suggestions
I'd recommend checking in on the IRC channel or opening a Github issue, much better way to get in touch with the developers! I'm just a very enthusiastic user who likes to report bugs. :D

help me choose a wm
Just fyi, river is nothing like awesome, it's like bspwm. There was an attempt to make an awesome clone for wayland but it's no longer under development. Also, though it's not tiling, for completeness there's also labwc which is a wayland clone of openbox.

What window manager or desktop environment do you use?
I've been using labwc for nearly a year now and I'm really happy with it. Its a simple floating wm though, so not sure that would be something you are looking for.
