Sorry, where is ArchLinux for N900? Never seen it.

I do not think that youtube-dl would run on Maemo 5.
Please note that more changes are necessary than lined out in that chapter.
Probably best to go through the whole shebang, see my signature.

Of course it's not a N900, but I thought this could illustrate why running i3 on a phone is not stupid, it's actually quite convenient with a keyboard and the possibilities are endless: https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/37471

Nobody said it was stupid afaics.
But consider that in your video, i3 runs _inside_ SailfishOS. Replacing hildon-desktop with i3 would not be recommendable I think, because a lot of important functionality is tied to hildon.
And I don't know if the N900 is up to running GUIs in containers...

I didn't claim anyone said it was stupid. But yes, I think the best balance is to have it running inside SFOS, alongside SFOS applications. A multiboot option would be another good alternative. But on a N900, if the OP wants to use it more as a mini computer than a phone, that could work too. It's not far from what PostmarketOS is doing based on Alpine.
The N900 can run DE inside chroot with Easydebian, I remember it worked decently some years ago, but some heavy apps or browser were pushing it a bit too far. I have never tried it with a tiling WM though.

About JRE, it may be possible to build OpenJDK (or even produce Quarkus binaries for specific applications of interest) but you should first Oracle JRE for arm32 that is expect to work as it only depends on glibc and x11. It was far enough for me to run some JavaME applications on MicroEmu like Opera Mini for instance.

As for youtube... I don't know... Stock Python on Maemo5 is 2.5 and its support is over... I do not think that youtube-dl would run on Maemo 5. Every newer stuff I use my kali chroot environment on n900...
So yeah... Maybe Leste would be a/the solution for you. Especially if you are thinking about projects.
