I’ve not used yabai as I now have the option of using Linux for work, but I’d tried several tiling WMs for macOS a few years back and none that I tried handled adding/removing displays well.
When you plug in an external display, do windows move over to it? And if you change the resolution on one display when doing so, do the windows resize as they should?
It seemed at the time like their reliance on macOS’s accessibility settings to manage windows made them fairly limited.

I think that yabai goes a bit deeper than other MacOs WMs; it gets you to disable (or partially disable) MacOs's system integrity protection, so it can use the OS window manager directly.
