I looked into the equivalent setup for WSL a while ago. The thing I could never solve was: how to manage the hosts windows via the virtual environment's WM? Without the integration that setup is just extra config for no gain.

Because if most tools belong to the VM, then just run a VM in full screen and use that. No need to have the display server shared if you're using mostly Linux tools that display on the VM's X server.

That’s a good point. I’ll try out the VM route and see how that goes. I mainly just want to tile the web browser, some docs, a terminal emulator and vim/IDE and be able to switch between layouts and apps seamlessly and VM does seem like a good option. Kinda sad that macOS WM is a joke to do all this compared to some of the TWMs out there.
