Oh! I just had a better idea! Why not extend the zoomy layout to have multiple stacks? It'd get pretty complicated for more than two, but for just two, having the zoomy windows on the left and right for each stack would be similar to the stackline layout you linked! Combining zoomy with jonaburg's fork of picom with animations (https://github.com/jonaburg/picom) gives a beautiful effect. Unfortunately the zoomy layout has been problematic for me currently (https://github.com/qtile/qtile/issues/2125). Have you had any issues with it?
