I've never used eww, but I've seen some of the configurations (not in dwm) which use shell commands like wmctrl to change workspaces and such. I believe you could accomplish most of the things you need with dwm-ipc, which has a command-line utility called dwm-msg.

I'm trying to apply this patch https://github.com/mihirlad55/dwm-ipc for installing https://github.com/mihirlad55/polybar-dwm-module. However patching fails

I've applied the barmodules patch with the hope of controlling multiple status segments via IPC.

mihirlad55 on github did some work on that. Among others, he made an ipc patch for dwm: https://github.com/mihirlad55/dwm-ipc

If you want to use an external bar with dwm, you should take a look at dwm-ipc. That patch lets you receive tag information which you can pipe into lemonbar.
