Interesting choice of window manager. Has anyone here used PaperWM and can comment on how its "scrollable" interface compares to more traditional tiling WMs like i3?

It’s awesome. I’ve switched to Niri which was inspired by Paper. When I use Gnome, I always install Paper. I never liked tiling WMs because I generally have a full height text editor, a full size web browser, and a handful of background terminals. This is cramped in a tiling arrangement, but works beautifully in a scrolling WM.
True but this is why most tiling interfaces have paging. Scrolling is an interesting alternative though.
