Ace jump for i3
I think wmfocus (Github, Arch) should be what you are looking for. It describes itself as "heavily inspired by i3-easyfocus."

Problem starting application with comma flags on i3config
I use wmfocus to switch my floating window efficiently.

Switching and swapping windows with ace-jump/easymotion-like hints
I've searched around for similar tools (and this has been asked in the past in other places: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/368825/select-x-windows-using-the-keyboard-like-ace-jump-hint-following-or-similar). The only tools I've found, in addition to XMonad's EasyMotion, are https://github.com/loki42/easyxmotion (mentioned in the stackexchange link) but after some quick and dirty hacks of the code (which is way over my head) I was not able to get much larger fonts nor obtain the window ID. There are also two tools that work with i3: https://github.com/cornerman/i3-easyfocus and https://github.com/svenstaro/wmfocus . Both give window's IDs and the last one displays large fonts with a small square background, so hints have great visibility. Both should, in principle, be window manager agnostic (https://github.com/cornerman/i3-easyfocus/issues/3 , https://github.com/svenstaro/wmfocus/issues/4 ), but those issues for WM-independent implementations are still open and the only existing implementations are for i3. (I played with both and looked at the code, but removing the i3 dependencies was not obvious to me ---and wmfocus is Rust, which I've never dealt with before).

Fastblur - a small blur tool with some cool features and filters
If you're using X11 my tool i3lockr is designed just for this, using /u/LoganDark's stackblur-iter, which takes ~35 ms (on my laptop using rayon). If you're using Wayland swaylock-effects should work.
What are some alternatives?
rofi - Rofi: A window switcher, run dialog and dmenu replacement - fork with wayland support
stackblur-iter - A fast, iterative, correct approach to Stackblur, resulting in a very smooth and high-quality output, with no edge bleeding
penrose - A library for writing an X11 tiling window manager
i3lock-fancy - i3lock script that takes a screenshot of the desktop, blurs the background and adds a lock icon and text
i3-automark - Auto mark windows in i3
i3-vim-focus - Vim plugin for seamless navigation between i3 and vim
i3-easyfocus - Focus and select windows in i3
fastblur
xorg-choose-window - A utility for choosing from visible windows in Xorg.
penrose - Create beautiful diagrams just by typing notation in plain text.
easyxmotion - Jump to windows in a style similar to the easymotion vim plugin, best with tiling WMs
glimmer - A small tool to use along with i3/Sway to add CSS-powered decorations to your focused windows, for better usability.
