Is there a standalone system/app indicator tray?
I used to use trayer on X11, there's this fork but can't say for sure it works on Wayland. Maybe another hack it to config yambar for all the modules you want to use, leave room to use only the tray module for waybar on your screen. And have them both startup on loading your windows manager.

How to have 'gaps' on dwmbar
The "applets" could be added with the systray patch if you want something graphical or with external utilities like trayer or stalonetray. It can also be done using dsblocks/dwmblocks for the status which support clickability but may need more tinkering if you want to show menus.

Waybar, how to show hour without leading zero?
GNU calls their extensions "equivalent to" things I'd have suggested trying ($_I or $-l), but I'm not sure if the equivalents are themselves GNU extensions, too. Regardless, reading this Waybar Github issue about %OI, I get the impression there was a regression at some point, in any case on March 27th 2022 someone says it "used to work fine until recently".

See this issue. CSS and only new properties in config are reloaded when SIGUSR2 is triggered.

Persistent workspaces?
I think this has just been added to waybar (wlr/workspaces) to work in a similar manner to how it is in sway/workspaces. No need for fake empty terminals. Something was merged for wwlr/workspaces in the waybar github. See - https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/pull/2089.
