River!! It's a Wayland dynamic tiler, which sounds like it's what you're looking for. I really like it. I've been using it for a few years and have been happy.
Note that they're currently undergoing a significant rewrite for the 0.4 release which will break people's setups. However, the 0.3 branch will continue to be maintained indefinitely for those who don't want to switch.
I plan to try it when it's ready. Some time next century at this rate.
It is "ready". The 0.3 branch and the 0.4 branch can be thought of as different compositors, and the 0.3 branch is a fully-functional compositor in its own right. Some people will never upgrade to 0.4 because they either prefer 0.3 or can't be bothered to make the transition.
Also the way you quoted that made it sound like the 0.4 release has been a WIP for years. Believe it or not 0.3 was not the first River release... They haven't been planning the RWM release the whole time.
