one workaround I use is not to use Spaces but custom Alfred hotkeys for most popular apps that you often switch such as: iterm, browser, xcode, vsc, file browser + rectangle.app for shortcuts to maximize/minimize app (without default animations). Takes some time to train muscle memory though - I use cmd+ctrl+(j or or k or l or ;) to switch between most frequent apps. I also use F1 as hot key for iTerm (quake style) and F2 for Dash.app
