I am using Rofi and have been happy with it for like few years now. I use it to both run programs and, instead of alt-tab, to switch between top-level windows (applications). There is also a relatively recent add-on that extends it to open local files as well.

On the off-chance that you've not tried it, another rough contemporary is ratpoison. I never got into that because it's not as "dynamic" as xmonad and wmii, being modelled instead after gnu screen (which is kinda more similar to the i3 experience). These days I suppose they'd say it was similar to tmux. Ratpoison pre-dates all the other WMs I've talked about, and still seems to be (sort of) going. Looks like the only commits since 2017 have been non-code ones, but folks clearly cared enough to move the IRC channel when the freenode controversy happened last year.
In both cases I used gnome-flashback to get a curated Desktop Environment without having to roll my own - e.g. i3-gnome-flashback and exwm-gnome-flashback.
