The one caveat -- and it's a big one -- is that Niri numbers workspaces dynamically, and won't let you have an empty workspace (except temporarily).

You can have named workspaces now, I have ones dedicated to terminals, and browsers. They always have the same numbers.

I tried it and I'm completely sold!
