How do you find SwayFX? I’m happy with Sway, but I admit, sometimes I want at least some rounded corners, or maybe slight opacity for some (non-terminal) windows. And the scratchpad, I simply don’t understand it. A minimise thing in dock sounds a bit more reasonable to me. (I haven’t used SwayFX, just read their readme before commenting.)

You can switch on Swayfx without problem with your Sway configuration if your linux distribution has the package.
The scrathpad is a new feature, we had to deactivate it until recently.
Some features require a good GPU to work properly like the blur effect, I need to deactivate it on my little netbook :) but it's not very important.
Does it do animations?
Not yet but Eww do animation on widgets and bar :)
This is so beautiful!
What is the advantage of Zsh? I used it ages ago and can't recall any longer.
Edit: Just noticed you're a fellow OpenWRT user! I have mine almost ready but still have to figure out how to make VPN server on it.
