Getting Pantheon to run -- a brief guide for crazy people who don't mind jank
Then you're gonna need to install dialog with pacman -S dialog and follow the instructions to get the HADRIAN script from this Github page. This is a script for Arch that downloads and installs the latest version of Pantheon, LightDM, the elementary greeter, and does all the basic setup for you. Pick the options you want (I did all of them because I actually like the default elementary apps), go through the installer, and when you're done you'll be back to the CLI, where you want to reboot.

[rice | Pantheon] one of these things is not like the others
I use this script from Github from a fresh EOS install (Base + Devel, no DE through the installer). Just pick all the options you want -- obviously if you don't pick something it won't work -- and you're mostly off to the races. Everything works except the switchboard-plug-mouse-touchpad which, would you believe, is the settings panel for mouse and touchpad. You need to git clone that and edit the meson_options.txt file to say option('gnome_40', type : 'boolean', value : true) (it defaults to false which makes it crash when opened). Just follow the build instructions on its page once you've done that edit.

Pantheon in Arch?
I've made a Pantheon install script for arch linux here. It installs perfectly atleast on a VM. I'm the only one who've tried it so far, so there's a chance it won't work for you out of the box.

Auto tiling
As you can see here, here, here and here some work was done long ago to introduce different tiling options but this feature was never top priority for head dev.

Layout differencies eOS 5.1.7 vs. eOS 7
it was broken here https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1304/commits. I'm too lazy to revert that code but it's possible to fix the gtk2 dimm bug (which possibly also fixes the rest too)

Can one write pantheon extensions (like for gnome-shell)?
For hiding applications from overview, or showing only windows of the focused app you would need to patch gala, the window manager. It is written mostly in vala, and uses libmutter (the same lib for gnome-shell's window management) underneath. Apparently it has a "plugin" system, but I'm not versed enough that those plugins have to be there at compile time or can be separately compiled. Here's the code: https://github.com/elementary/gala
