I'd be concerned that 4k @27" will require UI scaling to avoid everything being too small, and therefore potentially ending up in the same situation with Slack and other apps.

The table linked here seems like a reasonable starting point. I can't remember where I found this, so it might be up-thread 😅
Anyway, even ignoring Mac compatibility, 4K 27" falls in the badlands that are more likely to need fractional scaling/less likely applications are tested against.
27" 5K should work for anything tested on retina displays or with integer (2x) scaling.

I'm 1m in front of it and wear glasses that make it such that I can see pixels.
4k with tiny fonts will probably be fine

We talked about monitors... and I dismissed the need for a new one only a couple of weeks ago.
But now I've changed my mind :)
I have a single 27" monitor, 2560 x 1440 and I split it into 4 zones with Windows PowerToys.
Recently Slack no longer fits... they had a UI update.
And more people are using Google Docs in Pageless, which is clearly designed for higher res screens.
I've had my monitor since 2015... I'm happy with it, but I definitely need to increase the resolution.
Any recommendations on a premium 4K 27" monitor... 27" is required, 4k is required.
