App that constrains the apps menu in the menu bar?
The only thing I know of is moreMenu but it requires MacForge which unfortunately means it probably requires disabling SIP. It also may not be M1/M2 compatible.

Is there a program to change the size of the window buttons?
You can change even to any image if you hardly want to, but at a cost that I would not bother with. There is a plugin for MacForge that changes UI parts https://github.com/MacEnhance/MacForge

Apparently you can play not-allowed iOS apps on Mac with PlayCover
Spaces Renamer. I’ve tried several other options but I suspect Apple only offers the index number (per display) in their public APIs, when I move spaces between displays the names don’t follow along and become mismatched. Depending on where I am and if I’m using my iPad as an additional display I can have one, two, three or four displays hooked up so spaces change frequently.

"Named" Spaces shortcuts / Spaces indicators
In this context, I really wanted Spaces to be named more characteristically than "Desktop 1", "Desktop 2"... This is not possible without a SIMBL plugin requiring to disable csrutil which is a no-go for me.

Can you manually relabel desktop spaces? (like instead of "Desktop 4" or "Microsoft Word & Safari" like "Math Class" or "Friday")
