The only app that I use on a daily basis that doesn't cram in tons of white space is Safari on MacOS. IntelliJ used to be good about this, until they rolled out their new theme.

I’ve found I really like the new UI, but I may have also turned on some kind of compact mode.

Yes, the compact mode definitely helps, but it's a bit of a wonder that it's even necessary.
