I don't think there's a tiling wm that puts mouse first. I think years ago there was some work on KDE to add some tiling behaviour, but I don't know if it was merged and buried in settings somewhere, or it was a plugin, or a patch. I only remember some demonstration video from years ago.

I'm pretty sure there's also Openbox setup with tiling behavior.

I use dwm with some patches, and some customizations that allow for more mouse use.

For instance mouse wheel on the tagbar cycles through tags, mouse wheel on window title cycles through windows, middle click on window title makes currently selected window master, control + mouse wheel on the window title pushes selected window around, mouse wheel on status text increases or decreases sound volume, middle click on status text kills selected window, ctrl + mouse-wheel-up sends selected window to that particular tag, etc etc etc...

So yeah, it's doable in dwm. It's not "mouse first" but most used actions are also doable with mouse, in addition to the keyboard.

It's not too hard, spend an afternoon, or two and you can get it working that way.

Oberon OS did it.
