Auto tiling
As you can see here, here, here and here some work was done long ago to introduce different tiling options but this feature was never top priority for head dev.

Layout differencies eOS 5.1.7 vs. eOS 7
it was broken here https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1304/commits. I'm too lazy to revert that code but it's possible to fix the gtk2 dimm bug (which possibly also fixes the rest too)

Can one write pantheon extensions (like for gnome-shell)?
For hiding applications from overview, or showing only windows of the focused app you would need to patch gala, the window manager. It is written mostly in vala, and uses libmutter (the same lib for gnome-shell's window management) underneath. Apparently it has a "plugin" system, but I'm not versed enough that those plugins have to be there at compile time or can be separately compiled. Here's the code: https://github.com/elementary/gala

What exactly would a port to Wayland entail?

For rounded corners I've used Mutter Rounded which is basically a patched Mutter (Gnomes window manager)

Gnome looks pretty nice with mutter-rounded
Since OP doesn't answer I simply googled it and it seems like OP uses this project: https://github.com/yilozt/mutter-rounded
- does mutter_rounded affect performance or battery life

My "Gnomintosh" setup. Guide in comments.
Good question. The dev himself has said he does use a certain patch in his build. See here.. However, I went inside the code and it appears that he first downloads the Mutter source from RPM (which does not have the performance patches, yet), builds a big "meta"-patch out of everything in the "patches" folder, and applies those changes on the downloaded mutter build. So to be safe, I downloaded 1877 and 2487 manually, and edited package.sh myself. Gnome runs significantly faster, with fewer dropped frames, especially in the overview and app menu. (1877 gave me a few quirks though so you might want to skip that.)
