River: A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
I used to love GOOMWWM[1] and used it for the longest time. I miss a lot of things about it, still. It doesn't quite meet your requirements, looks-wise its very minimal and it doesn't have snapping, but I really liked the idea behind it: make a keyboard-centric stacking/floating window manager that gives you enough control that it can be used as if it were a (manual[2]) tiling window manager. It really feels like a tiling window manager and its fantastic!

[2] I personally use sway these days, but I still prefer manual tiling where I move and size windows myself, rather than having the WM try to do it for me, as long as the WM makes it very easy to do, as goomwwm did (and its predecessor, musca: https://github.com/enticeing/musca)

Switching to the I3 Window Manager
I came to filing window managers through musca[1] and then goomwwm[2] (Get Out Of My Way Window Manager) and then switched to i3 (and more recently, away) because both Musca and goomwwm haven’t been updated in years.
I still miss Musca and goomwwm. They didn’t require any visualisation of the hierarchy, things were just layer out next to each other without a hierarchy and just worked. It was very intuitive. Goomwwm went a step further: it’s not technically a tiling window manager at all, but rather a floating window manager (so you can have your windows overlap if you want) that happens to be usable as if it were tiling and that’s keyboard centric (but you can use mouse too if you wish). That really was the sweet spot for me and I often find annoying behaviour in i3/sway that goomwwm didn’t have (typically around movement and resizing).

kde tilling features needs some attention
That's exactly what happens. Bismuth was a fork of Krohnkite. If someone needs Bismuth enough, they will pick it up, fork it or whatever.

Manjaro / KDE — hard to dislike
I wonder if this PR would help you.

KDE VS GNOME
No idea what exactly that shell does but in KDE krohnkite https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite was pretty popular until it was somehow superseeded by bismuth https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth (which forked krohnkite or was inspired by or whatever) and now with Plasma 5.27 there's initial work on a native tiling window manager including a whole new API for people to build upon, and which can be accessed with Meta+T.

Is there a way to install Kwin - Bismuth on my steam deck in a way that doesn't make my head hurt?
You can use Kronkite just fine. Bismuth is a fork of it, and their feature-sets are practically the same.

Are there options for dynamic window tiling in a traditional desktop environment?
Do you know how that differs from https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite it seems like that is another tiling extension.

What does your workflow look like on Linux?
I love virtual desktops and Krohnkite; it works infinitely better than windows.
What are some alternatives?
musca - Musca is a simple window manager for X allowing both tiling and stacking modes.
bismuth - KDE Plasma add-on, that tiles your windows automatically and lets you manage them via keyboard, similarly to i3, Sway or dwm.
