Integrating the window manager and emacs
For (2), there's frames only mode that is commonly used by tiling wm users. I think this is the one: https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode

How to daemonize emacs as user service
Another tip to make it even better: enable frames-only-mode to let the (tiling) window manager handle the layout for you. With a completion framework like Ivy or Helm, it becomes incredibly flexible and productive.

How can I stop emacs from reusing existing windows?
What about https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode ? I like this on a tiling window manager, though I do still need to tweak the settings a bit (like mu4e with org-msg likes to have an extra frame after sending a message for some reason).

Emacs windmove integration with i3
That Emacs is still going to create new windows automatically for special buffers like help, man pages, or when running *-other-window functions. You can also make Emacs create only frames instead of windows, see: https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/9ih3fo/frameoriented_workflow/ frames-only-mode is awesome but there where some cases where it didn't do what I wanted (it reuses help buffers even when they are not in the same workspace). I found this solution to do just what I wanted with minimum effort but as always YMMV.

Popper - Tame the flood of buffers in Emacs
Looks good! I'm curious how I might use this with something like frames-only-mode https://github.com/davidshepherd7/frames-only-mode; or similar. Seems like this would help with these buffers coming up at disrupting the current window layout (window as in window manager) and then killing them. Feels like it would work quite well together....

"Tiling" windows to respect the 80 character line length rule?
Btw, check out frames-only-mode; I've been using it for quite some time together with popwin (for when I do want a popup-like window inside of Emacs instead of a whole new frame) and it works really well!
