XMonad – The Automated Tiling WM
i3 has manual tiling by choice and it isn't necessary to port automatic tiling to i3 itself. You can make a service that utilizes i3's IPC that does that. And of course people have done so[1][2].

What are your favorite ways to improve your I3 WM experience that other people should try out?
I prefer i3 to any other twm, but the lack of any automatic layout drives me nuts, so I use https://github.com/olemartinorg/i3-alternating-layout in my autostarts

nwg-dock 0.0.1 ready for testing
The original concept comes from https://github.com/olemartinorg/i3-alternating-layout. I only wrote a script capable of working on both i3 and sway.

X11 is dead, switch to Wayland
I am personally waiting for Waymonad. https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
It takes time, but the teams behind wlroots etc are doing good work to make sure that wms managed by smaller teams can exist. There are even clones for your specific wm on wayland. See https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad

switching from awesomewm to a wayland compositor
In addition, there was the last commit in 2019. Thus, it can be assumed that the project is dead and therefore nothing will change on the current state. And according to https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44, there are probably not enough people who would actively participate in a fork.

I was in a stream and I realized what is still lacking from Linux Gaming to be mainstream
Ideally xmonad would be ported/xmonad devs would be working on waymonad, but I doubt it will happen. Waymonad seems to be abandoned.

Cool Desktops Don’t Change
Nice to see Qtile on Wayland. But I'm personally waiting for xmonad on Wayland.

A tiling desktop environment is now available for Bullseye
I wouldn't count on it, as Waymonad has not seen active development since 2019 and the Haskell bindings to wlroots have not been updated since 2019 as well. There is a fork, but it has not been active since September 2021. Also, it was based on wlroots, not sway.

How hard would it be to make my own window manager?
That's what the XMonad fans are using: https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad lets you write your Wayland compositor in Haskell, is analogy to the way XMonad lets you write your X window manager in Haskell.
-
I would not give up haskell for hiring purposes. I think it will exponentialy rise through the roof in a year or two [2012]
Unfortunately it was abandoned https://github.com/waymonad/waymonad/issues/44
- Is there a successful Wayand wm that is close to xmonad?
-
Little advice, please.
regarding keeping an interest, waymonad has been dead for something like two and a half years but according to startrack it's still getting people giving him stars so i don't think you should worry about it.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing i3-alternating-layout and waymonad you can also consider the following projects:
nixos - My NixOS Configurations
spectrwm - A small dynamic tiling window manager for X11.
azote - Wallpaper manager for wlroots-based compositors and some other WMs
wlroots - A modular Wayland compositor library
i3-auto-layout - Automatic, optimal tiling for i3wm
qtile - :cookie: A full-featured, hackable tiling window manager written and configured in Python (X11 + Wayland)
nixos - NixOS Configuration
river - [mirror] A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
yabai - A tiling window manager for macOS based on binary space partitioning
ibus - Intelligent Input Bus for Linux/Unix
autotiling - Script for sway and i3 to automatically switch the horizontal / vertical window split orientation
