I have been using exwm for about 2 years, there are some weirdness. When it comes to switching buffer preview with consult, the minibuffer loses focus when in a firefox buffer. And the support for wine application is utterly garbage, sometimes, I cannot even type in the wine application. In my dual monitors setup, I have to do some workaround to switch between monitor easily.
I have been trying other keyboard-centric window managers, like i3, dwm, stumpwm. None of them even come close to the integration of Emacs by exwm.
If I have time, I may try to fix the above issues myself, since the exwm has been abandoned by the author for quite some years, and the current maintainer kindly took over to accept pull request.
For the lost focus in x windows, you may try (setq x-no-window-manager t).
