I was thinking the same, but as the pictures on the EXWM site suggest: could you not run a dedicated instance for the window manager? And do all your other Emacs tasks in embedded instances, so that the former is not so likely to crash?

The Emacs instance running as the WM is just Emacs in fullscreen. You can use it as your editor. But you can also launch X11 programs and manage them as you do with text buffers. Kill a program, kill a buffer. Same thing.

But you can, of course, launch a graphical Emacs within EXWM. There you get a second Emacs thread.

One can also put X11 buffers in char-mode to pass through keybinds directly to that window. That way you don't have to do weird sequences to pass through emacs keybinds to another Emacs.
