For anyone looking to dip their toes into Yabai and tiling windows, I recommend the following setup. Enable full tiling only on a couple workspaces. Desktop 1 can remain in floating layout, just as though you’d never installed Yabai in the first place. Then tile Desktop 2 and as many others as you want.

The one other tip I have is to have an easy hotkey for toggling full screen mode. Toggling an app into full screen mode doesn’t lose its tiled position or create a new desktop the way native Mac full screen mode does, which is especially helpful when working on a smaller monitor.

I usually have too many windows open (upwards of 20). And yabai tries to tile all of them. Is there any way to say "have a maximum of 3 windows horizontally and but for the left most tile, split vertically into two if needed"?
