Vertical and horizontal workspace switching
Not really. The Apple window managers work side to side for space switching on both iOS and macOS. Same with the split screen control - only side to side movement is programmed.

You could get an alternative window manager, but you can probably get 90% of the benefit learning the key shortcuts to move quickly to a set screen and disabling the "reorder spaces" option in Mission control.

I get why that's there for new users, but power users almost never want their spaces to be "reorganized" on the fly.
