At most I have 4 or 5 windows actually visible, but some (like Slack) I only have just enough to see if there are any new messages or notifications (so only the LHS and bottom of the window are visible). Or the Spotify window generally is bottom left so I can hit the pause/next buttons easily (although I can do it from keyboard shortcuts too).
Having one big monitor got me out of the "window must be resized to take up the whole or half of one monitor" mode I used to work in. Looks like you do something similar.
What I was finding with two monitors (both 1920 pixels wide) is that I wanted most windows to be ~1200 pixels wide. So I'd naturally want 3 of them open a time but the bezel(s) down the middle would prevent me from doing so. With no bezels I don't have that problem.
I've currently got 9 browser windows open (personal, slack, spotify, and then 6 different chunks of work) each with >10 tabs open on each. Then I've got another 8 windows (4 terminal sessions, 1 excel, mail client, docs).
Generally I go for main focus of activity top left, supplementary stuff top middle and top right, then lower down are the less important things or things I only need to check occasionally.
