Endeavor vs Vanilla arch?
The related issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1111 implies it's fixed, but either way, you can just securely delete your password after the install.

Does Archinstall have any downsides?
Still feels that it is in rapid development phase, rather than just maintenance, last month I encountered this bug
-
"Failed to install packages to new root\r\n" (Archinstall script)
The problem has been fixed in Git, we'll just have to wait for the fix to be released in the next version of archinstall.
- I need some help with archinstall...

What login manager is this
According to Archinstall's code, it seems like the bspwm profile installs lightdm by default
- Update to Linux install script (ArchLinux Edition)

Arch server ?
If you use a configuration file and don't use custom-commands, there is no problem whatsoever. I do believe Archinstall's developers are going to make sure no declaration will fail. That being said, looking at their bug tracker, it looks like Arch is moving a bit too fast for them too as there are installation-blocking bugs regularly showing up (and usually solved swiftly!) but do you want to wait for 2 months to redeploy your system your secondary disk is confusing the installer?

Can i find the script of Archinstall?
reading https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall or just read the arch installation wiki is pretty much just does that
The archinstall script source code can be found on GitHub/archlinux/archinstall.

Multiple screens with different resolutions?
autorandr worked great for me for hot plugging when I would frequently use my laptop with two external monitors.
-
update xrandr automatically when I unplug a monitor
Autorandr does run in the background as it is a daemon. For systemd integration see https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/blob/master/contrib/systemd/autorandr.service
I achieve this with autorandr. Never tried to implement inside (any) window manager.

dual monitor issue with both XORG and wayland; please help
autorandr (link) (xorg)
- How to only display on external (internal can be inactive) while HDMI cable is plugged in, and switch back to internal when HDMI cable is unplugged?
-
Automatically detect external displays and apply config to them
Check autorand. You can save profiles and automatically load them if an hdmi connection/disconnection is detected.
-
How do you handle variable monitor configurations?
First setup all the display configurations, ignoring xmobar. Using something like https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr and https://christian.amsuess.com/tools/arandr/ make it easy. Now all you have to do is somehow invoke autorandr --change every time there's a connection or disconnection event.

From macOS to Arch Linux
If I may suggest, take a look at autorandr [1], it saves your monitor configuration and automatically enables it when a set of monitor is detected. It's a small thing, but it improves the experience and will replace your home alias.

General question about only using i3 without Desktop Environment.
