I've been using ion3 since it was released, and I only recently discovered wmii. Yesterday I tried out the welcome tours of both wmii-2 and wmii-3, and I must say I'm really impressed. The only reason I didn't switch immediately is the (lack of) handling wm-style dockapps. I think your suggestion of putting dockapps in a vertical bar on the right is a good one.
I, too, missed my dockapps initially, but now I'm glad to NOT have them! It forced me to think about what I was displaying and, more importantly, why. Since them, I've hacked all I need/want into my status script and am much happier with that single line than with my old gkrellm2. See example at http://waxandwane.com/wmii-3-statusbar.png : approx netload, mem/swap, cpuload, uptime, daily min/cur/max temp, lunar data, solar rise/set, and current date/time.
