I similarly find something like Yabai a bit too heavy-handed for my needs, and instead prefer Moom[0].
I find that I only need tiling occasionally, and for that Moom excels since it doesn’t add any new key shortcuts to memorize and is only ever visibly present when hovering your cursor over a window’s green button. Its Aero Snap equivalent is optional and turned off by default too, which is great for me (I trigger Aero Snap’s proposed-window-resize animations unintentionally often enough that they get to be irritating).
Moom is one of my main tools and I have used it for years. It is one of the first things I put on my Mac. I use it constantly to move windows around, lay things out for work, and move things between desktops. I can't recommend it enough.
Moom fan here too. I got as far in the readme for Yabai where it says you need another utility just to set keyboard shortcuts and decided to stick with what I know and love.
