I had an excellent experience using niri to manage visuals for a university event recently. I was handling background loops, videos, and slides, and since it was a last-minute setup I had to improvise the entire workflow. The scrollable layout was perfect for this, I organized the windows horizontally in the exact sequence they needed to appear, which effectively turned a mix of an image viewer, video player, browser, and PDF readers into a seamless presentation (I could just have used the browser but it would have felt clumsy in comparison). The ability to keep everything in fullscreen and instantly exchange windows between displays via keyboard shortcuts made the transitions almost invisible to the audience.
