I've been using Awesome on Debian Stable for years. I haven't configured it very much, and I mostly use it to keep everything full screen all the time. I'm sure at some point the X Window System will be completely abandoned and I'll have to move on to something else, but I haven't figured out what that something else is, just yet.
Sway can pretty much replace awesome nowadays, so I'd encourage giving it a shot. You can even script around the way it does multi-monitor workspaces to make them work similarly to awesome (just bind your switching shortcuts to a script that asks sway with swaymsg which monitor is focused). Finding a solution to this is actually what allowed me to abandon X11 and awesome for good.

There is a port to Wayland being worked on. Note that it's not usable yet. https://github.com/way-cooler/way-cooler
Thank you, I'll be following that project.
I did this as well and recently just started using kwin with a tiling extension
Which tiling extension are you using?

At the current rate of progress, there's a fair chance you'll be dead before X is completely abandoned.
