After that, though, I've found adding more monitors just adds distraction, and it's too much moving my head back and forth to see things.

That's what I am trying to convey in this article.

I find it super annoying to have to switch back and forth between screens just to see a UI change

That's what I have realized from most UI folks over here. They opt to work on multiple screens to see how the changes reflect on the front-end. However, I worked before on the frontend side of projects, and I used an editor called bracket, which has a built-in feature called live preview that allows you to observe the changes while coding. I think VS code has this feature if you install the live preview extension.
