I'm no longer using a Mac (for employer reasons), but I had a lot of success with Yabai (free/open-source) before I switched. https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

I haven't disabled SIP yet. As a Mac novice, I'm wary of breaking something required for work (and in a pandemic WFH to boot) that I can't fix. But it looks like it's optional.
I'll give it a shot! Thanks for the tip!
yabai works without SIP, minus some features that requires it
This is the danger of tiling window managers :( I now fear one day I will work at a company that won't let me use Linux.
But on the flip side, it's a great testament to the power of tiling. You'll have to claw i3 out of my cold dead hands :)
If I was forced to work on a non-Linux box now, I'd most likely end up running a Linux VM and do most things within the VM.

It’s not full tiling but penc https://github.com/dgurkaynak/Penc meets my needs for tiling
There are some tools (all $$) for Mac which attempt to replicate a tiling WM but Apple's support for it is extremely poor, affecting the quality of the tools.
