Well, since the first thing I did was remove the taskbar, I'm sort of
biased at this point.  I do have it in the panel, though, so I'd vote
option 3.  Option 2 seems like overkill to me, but I don't run as many
workspaces as others.

Query.  Is this the UI Theme or the Window Manager Theme?  Because I am
not a fan of the "xfce" window manager theme (I'm guessing it's a
holdover from Xfce3 days?).

I'll agree with this.  But, that's because I have some weird compulsion
to click on the desktop sometimes.  However, Xfce has cured me of that
pretty much.  Otherwise, I keep launching apps randomly.

Just don't remove the cool "scroll wheel=workspace scroll".  In fact,
that would make the scroll wheel[1] totally workspace-oriented in a sort
of nice way.

Just my 4 ha'pennies,
Matt

[1] The middle button for 90% of people now, I bet.
