What I've done is switched off the icons for the filenames and reduced the width of the document list, and that's fairly close to what I wanted. I usually have about a 50-100 random files open at a time and need to see the document list when I'm switching between files. Actually, a nice feature might be an auto show-hide for the document list (as per the macOS dock control) whenever the cursor is near the left-edge of the screen? Not sure how viable that is or how seamlessly it could be integrated, it's just a thought.
