Barrier: Open-Source KVM Software
There is an actively developed fork https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap, however that fork is still undergoing heavy development and recommends sticking with Barrier until they're able to release v3.0.0 which they expect rather soon.

barrier is basically a dead project now. The active members of the project forked it and are going to release when ready but

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
There's a new fork of barrier called input leap (not to be confused with the leap motion), https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap with work on getting Wayland support in shape. Not sure how far the support is atm, but the gnome 45 release notes mentioned "Wayland support for Input Leap" (https://release.gnome.org/45/)

What do you think of Smart KVM as a feature on a monitor?
I wonder if I would be better off just buying a LG monitor without the Smart KVM, and instead using Barrier (or, Input Leap, which seems to be maintained actively compared to Barrier https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap)

KVM but only mouse and keyboard
Could also be worth mentioning that Barrier is basically unmaintained at this point so you'll probably never get Wayland support there. The maintainers (apparently the owner of the debauchee/barrier dropped off the face of the earth) of Barrier forked it and migrated to input-leap (issue with details if interested) which is where all development is presently, although they haven't made a release yet.

Sunshine/Parsec alternatives?
I'm already using waynergy with input-leap as my main way to control the laptop when it is docked. It is amazing.

I want to be able to drag an app from one computer on to another
With waypipe we now have something that sort of works like x11 forwarding. There used to be a piece of software called x2x that would let you move your mouse off of one screen and on to another.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing input-leap and x2x you can also consider the following projects:
barrier - Open-source KVM software
display-switch - Turn a $30 USB switch into a full-featured multi-monitor KVM switch
ddcutil - Control monitor settings using DDC/CI and USB
streamdeck-ui - A Linux compatible UI for the Elgato Stream Deck.
synergy-core - Open source core of Synergy, the cross-platform keyboard and mouse sharing tool (Windows, macOS, Linux)
ydotool - Generic command-line automation tool (no X!)
ddcctl - DDC monitor controls (brightness) for Mac OSX command line
python-validity - Validity fingerprint sensor prototype
