Why doesn't Gnome have native tiling?
But with auto-tiling you need to place windows according to a pre-set configuration, it needs to fit whatever layout you want to go for and it needs to be able to resize the window without breaking the content. This works pretty well for libadwaita apps, but a lot of webapps seem to assume a certain minimum window size. Another issue is how to handle modal dialogues, where paperwm for example sets an override to ensure they're not attached to the main window. Should the settings window then be treated as a separate window and tiled, or should it be left floating above all others?

Fedora is really good
I like Gnome's simplicity, agree with most of its deviations from the tired old Windowsy desktop status quo, and am very happy to depend on all its great integration work. I can't quite live with the simplistic window management, but extensions cover that (as they do much else). With Fedora + Gnome + PaperWM, I'm quite at peace with the current linux desktop situation.

Bismuth likely going to be deprecated after 5.27
Still I'm looking forward for something like PaperWM to be possible in KDE - or even to write it by myself

I have noticed in one of your comments in this thread that you are looking for novel ideas of the UI look. As others commenters stated, you might be interested in tiling window managers like i3 [0] or sway [1]. They are truly a gem for productivity and sometimes for an eye [2].
However, I love the concept of scrollable window manager like PaperWM [3] is. When I had a smaller screen (24" 16:9) I was complaining a lot on unused space on my screen. With PaperWM I was finally happy with its dimensions, because I could have huge IDE on the left and small part of terminal displayed on the right. That way I knew if something was printed to terminal, while my editor took 80% of the screen.

KDE: A Nice Tiling Environment and a Surprisingly DE
I would also highly recommend i3 + i3-gnome combination [1]. It adds a lot of gnome features out of box to i3, like sound control, notifications, etc.

Gnome, minimal-isation towards i3
Remove/change all the gnome hotkeys/shortcuts using dconf-editor so I can use Gnome environment like i3. I do enjoy the ease of plug and play-ablity of gnome against i3. But I just...don't like the environment. I have checked i3-gnome. It makes the HDMI output stop working.

Has anyone had success installing i3wm over gnome and keeping gnome settings?
Hmm, sounds a bit like you'd want i3-gnome, which states it has support for gnome 40, though my guess is that this will give you Gnome DE with i3 instead of Mutter being the only difference, so no polybar.
