I found a way round this with my 4K monitor setup. It has picture-in-picture (PiP) mode, and I've got multiple outputs from my laptop (usually I just use one).
Usually the monitor is connected by USB-C to DP for the 4K goodness but if I need to share my screen I can connect again by the other input (HDMI/VGA/etc) and then make this input a 1920x1080 resolution screen that is displayed in PiP mode in a corner of the monitor. That way I can share just that smaller screen but still have it appear all on my one big monitor and I don't have to share the whole 4K display. (Obviously you can't see the bit on your main desktop that's obscured by the PiP screen, but that's easily worked around.)
Depending on how you position things virtually it's a bit odd to have to drag something way off to the right of the screen only for the cursor to appear on the left of the PiP section, and vice versa, but you get used to it.
[EDIT] Took a photo. The PiP screen top-right is a separate screen as far as Windows is concerned, and I'm sharing the whole of that smaller screen on a Webex session, but the rest of the monitor is private to me (it just happens to be looking at the same webpage which is a bit confusing I guess, but you can see it's a different browser window as the two windows have completely different tabs - one tab on the shared screen and loads of tabs on the main part).
