I wouldn’t consider a split screen MD editor distraction free.
My markdown editor needs to be just one combined edit/preview window. Either with Typora like WYSIWYG or some syntax highlighting.

I don't personally find the preview to be distracting, and I like seeing the rendered product with a distinct separation from the code that generates it.
I don't think I'll swap to this since I'm relatively happy with just having MacOS preview and a terminal in a workspace split, but I could totally see why someone would like this.
What I truly despise is when markdown blocks are parsed immediately, where the delimiters are instantly removed and the text gets formatted into a terrible WYSIWYG editor. It causes me to constantly swap mental models as I write. It’s the worst of both worlds.
100% agree on the instant-rendering. That is always the first thing I disable in Slack.
I wonder if there are more ways to solve that problem.
But I think you mean combined edit/preview like Zettlr has, where it's a hybrid.
