Some tiling wms at least can handle floating windows just fine so you can pick and choose. My bspwm setup uses one floating workspace and the rest tiling, so I switch to the floating one for apps or tasks where it feels easier.
But I prefer tiling most of the time on a large screen too, mostly because makes manipulating windows with a keyboard faster to have a simple, predictable layout. In practice I usually end up with 2-4 windows per workspace, with a few with 1.
