1 year ago I can give you a general idea about some of these suggestions right now, but some of the possible ones may not be implemented for a while because I have school tomorrow.
- This is the purpose of the blacklist, and floating windows are always on top, at least in the latest release (0.2.2). Window roles kind of work, kind of don't on Wayland.
- I cannot test this as I do not own more than 1 screen, can you be more specific?
- This functionality is provided through KWin, and there's not really anything I can do about it with this script. I believe there is functionality to save layouts somewhere, though.
- I can probably come up with something
- Unfortunately, I need to check every individual element in the blacklist because I need to see if the strings include each other. I have code in place for a blacklist cache, which uses a set to see if that type of window has already been checked. This should somewhat improve performance.

Sorry, idk where to find API docs to new tile system for adequate write and connect functions, but i can suggest some improvements:
1) Floating windows always on top: In theory, we can add window role for black/whitelisted apps (client.resourceClass, if i right understand code) Or make another list for app, what's we need to guaranteed been floating
2) Prevent change screen, when retiling As i see, we has func desctopChange with checking client.screen, but now on retiling it can change current app screen to main. Maybe we need add function for checking selected screen on retile, orr add suboption for app for remember it.
3) Add possiblity to save/remove user templates Now we has only 3 default template on tile management screen. Idk, where find access to this, but if possible, we can realize this with create 2 new lists: 1 with user templates and second with default user, what's replace default list, if we has our custom templates, and add func to checking, for prevent user remove defaults.
4) Rearranging tiling inside areas and in global screen area through key combos (if possible)
5) Some code improvements Like replace black/whitelists and some another lists from Array to Map's/Set, for prevent addition of same names and redundant rechecking through loops
