You might want to check out i3wm[1]. I know you said that you're not particularly interested in tiling WMs but it's great for multiple monitors. Thinking about it, it would be perfect for a triple monitor setup as it solves a lot of the problems you've mentioned (monolithic workspaces, moving windows to workspaces predictably, etc.) and is highly (and easily) configurable.

I am very aware of the WMs in this space. I used Xmonad for several years, for example.

Wingo is actually a tiling WM. But it's also a stacking WM. The difference with other tiling WMs is that its stacking layouts are first class citizens (hopefully as good as Openbox's) rather than hacks to get pesky applications to behave.
