As the widgets now basically _are_ your desktop, you can display them quite easily. If you have any part of the desktop visible (e.g. to the left or right of the dock) you can click there so it hides all windows. I'm not sure if you need to enable this somewhere. Also, there is a trackpad gesture to show the desktop: Keep your thumb stationary and use three fingers to swipe away, as if zooming out. |

The use case for me for widgets is to display information I want to look at very briefly and then have go away again.
It ought to be pretty simple for Apple to add a "special" desktop for widgets to the left of the first desktop. This would match both the old Dashboard behaviour that I miss, and the way that widgets work on iOS.
(And the gesture you describe isn't "show desktop", it's "show all windows", though I'm sure it can be configured in macOS settings!)
