I'm new to wayland and still shopping around for a tiling wm that makes me happy. I'm familiar with ratpoison, and hear cagebreak might be a suitable alternative?

Have you tried Hyprland?

I thought cagebreak was for running individual apps in an isolated Wayland instance or something

I'd recommend avoiding Hyprland and the other projects by that dev. Incredibly toxic and transphobic.

Granted, it's open source so you're not exactly financially supporting them, so it's more a question of platforming and justifying the sponsorships they get from third parties.

My understanding is that you're thinking of cage. Cagebreak seems to be built on top of cage, but with a ratpoison-like experience.
