Separating work and personal context

I have been using TickTick for at least 10 years, both for work-related as well as personal tasks. For me it feels like 95% what I need. One of the things that I miss in TickTick is a separation between planned and due date. A few days ago I discovered Super Productivity which seems like a very cool application.

I am however struggling a bit on a good approach to separate work and personal tasks.

In TickTick I have several lists for work projects and a few lists for personal 'projects'. All my work lists are grouped in a Work-folder, all other in a Personal-folder. I use the folder-filter in TickTick to create a view for all work related task. Similarly I have a few filters that filter on tasks in the Personal-folder. This gives me a clean separation of work/non-work context, while still also allowing to get a view of everything that needs to be done that day.

I'm struggling a bit on how I should/could organise this separation in SP. I had hoped that the boards would be able to filter on a project folder. But that's not possible it seems. Filtering on multiple projects would be another solution, although I would have to manually add a new project to the board, but that also seems not possible. I could tag all work related tasks with the tag 'work' and filter on tag work (and not work), but that seems error prone and a step back from what I have in TickTick. I could create a 'work' project and use a tag per project, but again that feels not quite right. I guess I could try the User profile feature and create completely separate databases, but I like being able to have a global overview. Suggestions are welcome and much appreciated.
