Want to try Stacking WM, but gnome and kde are too fancy

Hey all I've been using Linux for about a year and a half now and have really been loving it (I'm on void btw).

I have always used Tiling WMs since the beginning, I used Hyprland for a bit, ended up hating it for both the Dev's shadiness but also the absolute incredulous amount of churn. So I switched to Sway, from the very beginning I've only ever used Wayland.

I'm not at a place where I'm content but I am curious about swapping to a stacking WM. I was going to go KDE but, and I'm probably in the minority, I don't really like Kwin, and I actually find KDE to look kinda ugly.

I've been drawn to XFCE which I have installed but not tested yet. It's aesthetic is much more my vibe and classic with all the theming available.

Does Wayland have any compositors in this ball park of stable and consistent but not the usual?
