The excuse is that this is Apple, and the solution to problems with them is to buy more things. In this case, get a $1,500 ultra wide curved monitor which is better than dual head.

For $1500 it's better to get one of the 43" 4K displays. I've used one for over half a decade now, and the ability to comfortably tile a browser plus four terminals side-by-side is unmatched. Or if you will, display 10 A4 pages of a document simultaneously.

I have a €500 43" 4K and it's great. But anything else feels so small now.

4k? I'm talking 5k. regardless of which monitor you get, point is $1,500 gets you a lot of monitor that is far better than dual head.

No, it's not. I've used ultra wides and I don't like them :-)

Would a better window manager fix the fact that I don't like the way the image looks?

If it's not about window management for you, what don't you like about a single flat 43" display over dual head of two smaller ones?

They frequently don't have adequate DPI. Or they cost an arm and a leg.
