There's never a solution to this problem that would satisfy all
unfortunately!

My own solution is to have a frame for each different working area so I
don't have to worry about window arrangements generally.  E.g. I have
one frame for gnus, one or more for agenda (& related), and one each for
any documents I may be working on (code or org or both).

It helps to use a tiling window manager... but YMMV of course!
