I think wmii 3 is turning out less *dynamic* than it's predecessor. I really miss the instant zoom behaviour too, among other thinks, so if dropping multitags leads to a less functional and flexible wm, I'd vote against it.
Just my 2 cents.

If it is more or less dynamic is not important... What is important is how well the dynamic capabilities made available actually work, and how useful they are in practice. If this is a "dynamic behaviour" that is not particularly usable or useful, then I think we should get rid of it, replacing it with something better.

I think we often rate things in terms of a vague quality and how much of that quality is has (i.e. LISP is more dynamic than Python, and therefore there is no reason to use Python). While I think the dynamic aspect of wmii is important to consider and strive to increase, the total amount of dynamic behaviour between versions is not a useful metric of "goodness" in and of itself.
