Would you be able to point me (& others) towards some resources to
better understand how to write a "good" configuration?

I based my config from the example (man/xmonad.hs) that ships with
xmonad-0.11 on Arch Linux.  Is an example of a bad config?  With my
limited understanding, it seems like it matches your description.

Best,
Josiah
