Auto-resizing on display aspect ratio change (laptop docking from 3:2 to 16:9)
If you use any tiling layout, they will adjust to a screen size change. However some additional actions should be taken to move your tag structure from one screen to another. I use shared tags to move my tags.

How to Keep Off-Screen Window Mapped
Make Xorg believe that window is visible. For example you can add a fake screen which will show all offscreen windows or at least ones you'd like to capture. On this way you'll face another problem: you can't show the same window twice. Moreover the window may be tagged with tags only on the same screen. It is possible to partially overcome these limitations (see sharedtags for example).

Laptop lid closed and using an external monitor
After you figure out your power and screens configuration you'll need to move the tags to other screen once their screen disappeared. It's already implemented in sharedtags module. Even if you're going to implement it yourself you can use the module as a reference.

Charitable/Sharedtags spawning clients with rules freezes awesome
I have an issue with using charitable / sharedtags and rules, The issue is that when I spawn an application/client that has rules, while the workspace/tag it is supposed to spawn on is visible on another screen but not focused, awesome freezes/crashes.

Sharing spaces across two monitors
You can't show the same window on the both screens simultaneously (that's an Xorg limitation). Look at shared tags. This module allows you to move a tag with all clients between screens.
- How do I make tags unique for each screen? ex. Tag "1" should only be present on screen "1"

Display all tags regardless the screen

Cosmic Desktop: Hammering Out New Cosmic Features
What level are you interested in scripting? In KDE Plasma you can interact with the desktop UI via JS: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/scripting/
And then for something more sophisticated there are extensions like https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth.
It does all feel a little disorganized/wild-west-y compared to say, a .vimrc with a list of plugins and bindings, which is something that makes a system like Nix (or a fully containerized DE of some kind) appealing

Hyprland Crash Course
It had, but they are all dead until ported to the new kde 6.
https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/issues/471#issuecom...
This is what I used. I found no good replacement for it and that is what made me switch to hyprland.

This week in KDE: Double-click by default
one thing i would totally recommend for kde is bismuth https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth/
it's tiling for kde and it works REALLY well.

I find myself getting annoyed with having to set each window Up how I like it. So far this is a set up I enjoy when working on projects. How can I get Ubuntu to save this 'set up' so I can quickly open these apps in this view?
Take a look at a tiling window solution. I'm currently using bismuthwith gives similar arrangement to what you're looking for and helps massively with productivity when working on an ultrawide

What is a good windows tiling manager for beginners?
As a good halfway house you could do worse than KDE with Bismuth (https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth), which is an add-in that will give you great tiling capability, fully controllable via the keyboard. Couple this with KDE native virtual desktops and you have a pretty decent tiling window manager.

Why KDE Plasma was chosen as the default desktop environment for Asahi Linux
Plasma 5.27 added in some native tiling support. There are also some kwin scripts available to add tiling to it.

I am a little concerned about Tiling on KDE 6
Not-good stuff: This tiling is very incomplete. It doesn't allow you to snap everything to your tiles at once, it doesn't support different tiles per virtual screen/workspace and, perhaps more importantly, with that addition and Plasma 6 on the way, compatibility with Bismuth and similar addons is getting lost.

Trying to make a case for tiling WM.
Since you are already using KDE, you can very easily try how much you like tiling: just install bismuth: https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth It's a plasma add-on that enables tiling in KDE. If you don't like tiling, just disable the plugin again and uninstall bismuth.

A couple of questions regarding Bismuth tiling extension
No, it doesn't have that. Here is the list of layouts.

Manjaro / KDE — hard to dislike
No I was talking about Bismuth which was amazing and actively maintained but due to kwin updates it's not working and is apparently not going to be updated
