Best window manager for Arch with
Since this is your first foray into this world I’d suggest you look into nwg-shell. It’s a sway (and hyprland) based WM that brings some of the niceties of a desktop over to this WM world for you. It comes complete with a gui for setting all the configs, and 4 desktop options, plus the ability to change it to your hearts content. There’s a dock, an app drawer, wallpaper app, and tons of things to tinker with. It’s written in Go and Python and you can change pretty much anything however you want.

Best bars and panels for wlroots compositors?
Waybar is working reliable for me. It maybe crashes once a month. But when it crashes, it's being automatically restarted by a systemd user unit

Managing slightly differing dotfiles over multiple machines - Git?
I know. But this requires way more overhead. For my professional ansible usage we do prefer the usage of group_vars. But for my simple dotfiles management it's to much. My dotfiles are managed with three small playbooks and templates
What are some alternatives?
