patch to center tiled windows on the stack
It would be possible to have gaps by default without wasting space, they would just be smaller. Current gaps patches waste even more space than 'resizehints = 0'. This patch appears to be a big challenge, but it would be very interesting to see it done. Something like the centered_size_hints patch but with better space/cpu usage would already be great.

Anysize leaving gaps in st
I made this patch after that post for reference: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/anysize-simple

How can you set the st geometry offset relative to the screen size as a dwm shortcut
I'd recommend that you have a look at the floatrules patch and alternatively if you need percentages then I have another patch called floatpos.
- Make the focusstack feature avoid a certain program.
-
tag.restore and tag.noempty
As for 1. you may want to consider toggletag which is a one-line patch which makes it so that when you do MOD+1 to move to tag 1 and if you do MOD+1 again then it moves you back to the previous tag (5 in the example case).

Patch to improve the zoom function
I believe the zoomswap, stacker and restrictfocus patches could help solving this problem. The functions needed to be changed probably are zoom and maybe pop. I tried to figure it out, but couldn't since I don't know C right now. But hopefully the information on this post can help, so one can fix it if he can and wants to.
- patch to separate focus between master and stack areas

How do you set the width of dmenu to the screen width after application of the xyw patch?
You may also want to consider applying the barpadding patch for dwm into dmenu, this is easier to do than it sounds. I created an example patch a while back: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/barpadding

alpha patch makes my dwm doesn't starting
It's difficult to make alpha and systray patches sing together. Use bakkeby patch that does them both: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/blob/master/dwm/dwm-alpha-systray-6.3_full.diff

How do I change multi-monitor tag behaviour
I had an example patch for that: dwm-desktop-6.3.diff

Can't find F13-24 labels
You can create F13-F24 purely in software with key mapping tools. On Windows, one way is with the PowerToys Keyboard Manager: remap some unimportant keys to F13, F14, etc. Another way is with KMonad (cross platform), and define the keymap with KeyF13, KeyF14, etc.
