elementary has a full screen mode that might get close to what you're looking for. It's disabled by default, but you can enable it by going into the Settings app, editing keyboard shortcuts, and assigning a key to fullscreen mode.
In full screen mode, the top bar and plank aren't shown, and each fullscreen app gets its own workspace (Super-Tab to cycle those).

Technically correct. Please help pressure upstream to adopt this feature (if not my specific pull request). Commented Sep 25, 2020 at 23:01

Here is its LaunchPad Code

The BountySource thread that you shared has a comment from Daniel Fore that explains why the team decided not to add this feature. The change was made against a pretty old version of Wingpanel, so even if the team wanted to make this change, it would take some work to merge that change into the latest version.

After quite some searching I figured out there is no easy way to do this.. But what I do to kind of patch this problem is I use full screen mode (meta+f) which really fullscreens the current app. That together with the use of hot corners available in the behaviour settings of desktop, makes the problem less important, since i usually need fullscreen in the apps I'm working.
(Personally i have enabled a hot corner to show all windows) The way FS mode works is by creating a separate workspace for the specific app, so meta+tab comes handy in stead of alt+tab quite often..
A blog post gives perfect steps to do it in the current elementary OS 5.0 Juno. The post is in Spanish but it's easy to follow for a moderate linux user.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yunnxx/elementary
sudo apt update
sudo apt install elementary-wingautohide

This is NOT autohide, it's a script that kills and restarts wingpanel. This is autohide: github.com/elementary/wingpanel/pull/93 Commented Jun 16, 2020 at 23:16
I'm working on this for Juno+; unfortunately building this fork requires a newer version of gtk3 (3.22 or higher) than the one shipped with Loki.
I have also written this program
