defToggleStrutsKey not working
This should now also be fixed in HEAD: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/commit/90f4a96f933a8ecc014b6def54fb929ee9e73e49

How to check xmonad version?
If you're on NixOS then definitely look into /u/LSLeary's excellent flake! (docs)

XMonad on NixOS
Perhaps you're not aware of the module exposed by the xmonad-contrib flake? It can do most of the setup for you. See the NixOS Modules section of https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/NIX.md.

Seems there was a documentation bug in that module. Does this fix help?

Mimic LeftWM's CenterdMainFluid in Xmonad?
There is X.L.CenteredIfSingle. However, it didn't land in 0.17.0, so you'll have to either wait for 0.17.1 (dropping soon, I promise!), compile xmonad from git, or just copy the file as-is (which should be doable) into your configuration.

Applying window decorations in xmonad while there is onlmore than one window
Btw there is an alternative way to implement smart bar using `AltMax` from xmonad-contrib but I'm not using it because of this [known bug](https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/issues/75).
- Key bind to remove borders around windows??

Custom Xomobar output
Note that the linked solution is a bit buggy (see here). But regarding your question, it's as simple as it gets. You could maybe replace (getModeName <$> (XS.get :: X ModeName)) with XS.gets getModeNameand maybe defining it somewhere else (e.g. logMode :: Logger), but that's really it. You could wait for #703 to be merged (whenever that may be), or just take the code from there (PSA: still in a rough state, undocumented, and very likely will change) and roll with it: it is xmonad after all, your config is going to be compiled anyway!
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xmonad-utils and xmonad-contrib you can also consider the following projects:
