In the Garmin Connect iOS app, you can choose to display notifications for any combination of Calls, Texts (i.e. Messages app), or Apps (i.e. every other app). With Pebble and Fossil, are you for example saying you can choose to display Instagram notifications but hide Snapchat? Garmin seems to indicate that their limitation of iOS, as the Android Garmin Connect app allows the user to choose individual apps to display on the watch.

To contrast this, I’d say that the “few cubicles in an office” is my least favorite approach. It makes every little noise much more noticeable, and if you get stuck with a loud talker, their voice on on virtual meetings is going to echo a lot more off of the office walls. I’d prefer a regular cubicle in a large floor where the background noise all just kinda blends together.

I downloaded it to try for myself on iOS, but the app requires that you first create an account on a Mac before you can use it on iOS.

It definitely won’t let me progress past the login screen on iOS without first creating an account on a Mac. Seems like an odd UX decision.

No, you make a single account and subscribe to the communities across whatever servers you want. The exception would be if the server you registered and the server hosting your desired community had become intentionally unfederated/disconnected, but hopefully that doesn’t happen too much. The third-party apps (like Memmy) are making the UX more seamless with subscribing to communities across different servers.
