Niri does have named workspaces so you can absolutely switch to fixed workspaces like you describe.
I have fixed workspaces but then temporarily add extra workspaces for side tasks - these are relative to the named ones but don’t stop you jumping to your named workspaces (assuming you’ve got your shortcut keys set up to match).
Oh that’s cool.
This fixes my problem with switching to windows.
Another issue with niri is you kinda get lost in the infinite scroll. Sometimes you dont know if there are any other windows, or hundred other windows in a workspace. As opposed to sway tabs, that show you exactly how many windows tgere are, what they are, and where you are in your ws.
Something that would definitely make me fully switch to niri is if you could increntally scroll windows instead of one window at a time.
Think I can create a terminal 3 times wider than my monitor, open nvim and create ~10 splits in it and simple switch between them. Bu you just can’t do that.

I use rofi for a fuzzy window searcher and it fixes that issue for me
