i can say, having used a WM, that generally, they come with nothing fancy, unless you get a less spicy one, so you would be experiencing a lot of non configured garbage not work very much. Scaling might be fine though. Although from what i can vaguely recall, if it's with steam exclusively, steam can sometimes require a specific font type, otherwise things can get weird, might be that.
Also have you ever tried a tiling WM? If not i would recommend it, they're weird, but the amount of time i no longer spend moving between windows is SO much lower. Probably pick something that comes as a full package though. Otherwise things will be very exciting.
a lot of applications also have an individual scaling, which can sometimes cause issues, i had that problem with GIMP for instance, though i was manually able to configure it's scaling to fix it.
