Yes, it is global. Even running `matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion)")` in the browser console returns true. I see no way of disabling reduced motion only for Safari either.

That being said, if you do decide to use spaces, I want to point out a MacOS setup that would help you to keep apps on different spaces and have an experience (slightly) closer to i3wm and other window managers.

First, you should create 10 spaces. Then go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control -> Expand the Mission Control dropdown. You'll see options to set keyboard shortcuts for each workspace there. I've set it to Option+{1-9, 0 for 10}.

Then just open some of the permanent apps you use, and right click on their Dock icon -> Options -> Assign to this desktop. I keep the browser in workspace 1, and messaging app in workspace 10.

I know this isn't the best solution, but behind crazy-hidden settings, it is possible to get a pretty decent solution for window management on macOS. Ohh also, I use Amethyst sometimes, for i3wm-like window layouts, and it allows you to set shortcuts to move apps from one workspace.
