How do you prevent the dock from jumping between monitors in macOS without unchecking the "Displays have separate Spaces" option in multidisplay rig?

I have a multimonitor setup.

By default the Displays have separate Spaces settign is checked in MacOS, and it causes the dock to hop between monitors if you hover your mouse at the bottom of any of your monitors even unintentionally, which is extremely annoying and frustrating because it causes apps to contract to make space for the dock, and when the dock hops away to another monitor again the apps on the previous monitor to not expand back - so the amount of usable space in the apps is constantly reduced by this constant dock hopping (which is annoying in and of itself).

This solution to disable dock hopping:

Go to System Preferences > Mission Control, then deselect the option"Displays have separate Spaces"

...is not acceptable because then I cannot have full-screen video on one monitor and a note-taking application on my other monitor - switching a video to full-screen causes other monitors to go dark when Displays have separate Spaces is unchecked.

How do I disable dock hopping between my monitors without making all of my screens go dark when I switch one of the windows to the full-screen mode?

If there is no native way to do it, kindly share a 3rd party utility that would allow me to do that.
