Are the any AR headsets that will give me a good multi-monitor setup where I can still see everything going on around me? Id happily pay $1500 for something like that.

https://varjo.com/products/xr-3/ is probably as close as you'll get today. However it costs around $6k and is still far from perfect.

No, that does not exist as of today.

If you can settle for VR, you might be happy with Immersed and Vive Focus 3.

There are no AR headsets today that would be remotely useful for day-to-day work, let alone with any kind of passable software support. Stuff from Varjo (like the XR-3) is getting there, but it's not there yet.

Why would you want the segregation of multiple monitors with a headset?

floating app windows would be better, but thats going to be a lot more complicated than virtual desktops. I just want a multi monitor setup without the monitors.
