I made a launcher inspired initially by kde's krunner, tries to do everything with a launcher, keeps the keyboard shortcuts to minimum, but having almost everything within a few keystrokes. Most things are os/de/wm agnostic. Since the write up, I have added a bluetooth device selector, network connections, vpns, and more stuff.

A scrolling tiling window manager.
When you open one window, it's full screen, no title bar or window decorations.
When you open another one, they're tiled side by side.
When you open a third one, it extends the desktop and you can scroll horizontally between your windows with the mouse, touchpad or key combo. This can go as wide as you want (or vertically, if you prefer).
Heavily customized sway by the way.
A simplified system settings?
I'm an older (in my 50s) macOS and Mint/Cinnamon user but I also know after testing it I would love to use KDE (it's a great DE) if it was not for its billion of settings one needs to navigate through in order to turn off the many visual effects and whatever I don't need that are activated by default, and the few things I need to activate that aren't ;)
Not sure when you last tried KDE, but recently with the update to KDE 6 the settings got reorganised. It's still not great, but a lot better than it was.
Also, iirc, a lot of the visual effects settings are in one panel, though I can't remember what it's called right now.

the settings could definitely use some reorganization. the fact that it's searchable helps but you can definitely tell a lot of that layout predates the current function of some of the settings.
Focus follows mouse.
Takes some getting used to, but it’s really nice once you’re tracking it.

I haven't had any detailed experience or suggestions, but if your considering anything, what about backup features.
Some sort of automatic remote realtime backup might be useful to some people.
Super + ctrl + s = super-save. Starts an rsync of your entire drive to somewhere remote.
I don't have anything I could back up to rn bc dorms, but setting up something like that is definitely in the plans and the way kde's built in backup stuff works it should be pretty easy when I get around to it.
