I was so sad when I lost xmonad support on Ubuntu 24.
I think the closest thing that could get most of the way there is https://github.com/domferr/tilingshell/
You can get very close if not all the way with qtile if you accept using python instead of haskell.

I have Xmonad running well on Ubuntu 24 with Gnome Flashback
The packages I install are: xmonad libghc-xmonad-extras-dev gnome-flashback gnome-panel
(plus suckless-tools and xmobar)
That should give you a login option for "GNOME Flashback (Xmonad)"
I recall there were a couple of hacks necessary to show the Gnome Panel:
gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback root-background true
gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback desktop false
and then the panels you can hide or remove per your preference
Could you elaborate?
