Is it possible to add this feature?
You are probably using Openbox as a window manager which does not provide this feature.. Replace Openbox with Xfwm4 (window manager of Xfce) or Kwin (window manager of KDE Plasma). See: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigWindowManagers

Problem with maximized window with two or more displays
I don't know your issue as I can't quite picture what you're describing sorry, but it does remind me of some issues with openbox (eg. https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1704). Swapping out openbox as the WM will resolve the issue.

Why do popular distros treat any of their "KDE Editions" or flavours as second class citizens?
Yes, but also it relays on KDE, at least a little bit.
- Does anyone think wayland will actually be the future?
-
Replacing xscreensaver lock with xsecurelock?
I found this LXQt wiki page, ConfigScreensavers, so I tried the provided suggestions:
-
lxqt and screen locking
Configuring lock_command should work. See more on https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigScreensavers.

It is posible compile the latest version of LXQt for Debian 11?
Here's all you need to know and do to build from source: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/Building-from-source

With rise of wayland, are simpler window managers dying?
LXQt: I think they are working on it but not sure how far along they have gotten https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/10

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

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 lxqt and waymonad you can also consider the following projects:
docklike-plugin - A Dock-like Taskbar Plugin for XFCE
spectrwm - A small dynamic tiling window manager for X11.
wayfire - A modular and extensible wayland compositor
wlroots - A modular Wayland compositor library
mutter - Read-only mirror of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter
qtile - :cookie: A full-featured, hackable tiling window manager written and configured in Python (X11 + Wayland)
polybar-themes - A huge collection of polybar themes with different styles, colors and variants.
river - [mirror] A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
imgui - Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies
ibus - Intelligent Input Bus for Linux/Unix
dash-to-panel - An icon taskbar for the Gnome Shell. This extension moves the dash into the gnome main panel so that the application launchers and system tray are combined into a single panel, similar to that found in KDE Plasma and Windows 7+. A separate dock is no longer needed for easy access to running and favorited applications.
autotiling - Script for sway and i3 to automatically switch the horizontal / vertical window split orientation
