I have not tried it since > Gnome 41 as I was mainly at home the last months, but I used this package in the past https://github.com/i3-gnome/i3-gnome

KDE: A Nice Tiling Environment and a Surprisingly DE
I would also highly recommend i3 + i3-gnome combination [1]. It adds a lot of gnome features out of box to i3, like sound control, notifications, etc.

Gnome, minimal-isation towards i3
Remove/change all the gnome hotkeys/shortcuts using dconf-editor so I can use Gnome environment like i3. I do enjoy the ease of plug and play-ablity of gnome against i3. But I just...don't like the environment. I have checked i3-gnome. It makes the HDMI output stop working.
- How to change volume?

dwm on Pop OS
https://github.com/i3-gnome/i3-gnome You need to do this but with dwm

Has anyone had success installing i3wm over gnome and keeping gnome settings?
Hmm, sounds a bit like you'd want i3-gnome, which states it has support for gnome 40, though my guess is that this will give you Gnome DE with i3 instead of Mutter being the only difference, so no polybar.

Gnome vs KDE
Or i3 with gnome for those who don't want to code up their own monitor hotplugging, ssh/gpg agents, media hotkeys, usb drive hotplugging, screenshots, theming, ...
-
Can you recommend me a GUI settings app that would work nicely with i3?
Similarly, I just use i3-gnome-flashback and get a full set of gnome desktop environment goodies without having to do anything much.

My bluetooth headphones' play/pause button not working
Yet another of the long list of small reasons I run i3 within gnome-flashback.

Using Exwm Do you recommend it?
For me with whatever tiling WM, I am not interested in creating my own Desktop Environment, so I run it within gnome-flashback to get all the desktop niceties like hot-plugging monitors, hotkeys for media, screenshots etc., ssh/gpg agent, compose key, and many more. I am not interested in rolling my own solutions for each of these in turn, only realize what I haven't set up yet right when I need it. See exwm-gnome-flashback, or i3-gnome-flashback.

Considering Gnome's default flow using workspaces, should Gnome or Ubuntu offer an official tiling WM option within Gnome? (screenshots of i3wm vs. Ubuntu 20.04 w/ pop shell)
gnome-flashback is the gnome ecosystem Desktop Environment that can have any window manager swapped in. I think that is what Regolith uses since they maintain i3-gnome-flashback, that I use.

EXWM vs. other tiling WM
In both cases I used gnome-flashback to get a curated Desktop Environment without having to roll my own - e.g. i3-gnome-flashback and exwm-gnome-flashback.
-
Automatically detect external displays and apply config to them
In my case, i3-gnome-flashback. As a result I have the typical desktop setup where the Gnome settings panel can control the monitor layout, and it remembers previously seen monitors and restores the layout.

Need for advice: tiling window software
To avoid having to build your own desktop environment, you can use it within an existing DE that allows alternate window managers. I use i3-gnome-flashback.
