Right - to get the best out of Apple you need to go in planning to do things the Apple way. If you go in planning to recreate your tiling window manager driven from the keyboard... you're just not going to get the intended benefits. Swim with the current not against it.

Amethyst is pretty good and keyboard driven. But note that under Linux, I never used a tiling WM, so I can't compare.

Got it thanks for suggesting, When searching for tiling window managers for Mac I came across Yabai

Have you tried it

I believe Yabai requires you to turn off SIP. However I really appreciate these security features so I never tried it.

Although even just installing Magnet really helps.
