+1. I'm doing it on my own with:
(defun reposition-after-init ()
"Re-position the frame in a display (Only for emacs 29 and above)"
(when (> emacs-major-version 28)
(let* ((monitor-attributes (frame-monitor-attributes))
(work-area (assq 'workarea monitor-attributes))
(x-min (nth 1 work-area))
(y-min (nth 2 work-area))
(new-x (+ x-min 32))
(new-y (+ y-min 32)))
(message "work-area: %s -> %d %d" work-area new-x new-y)
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) new-x new-y))))
Hooked to the startup in
(add-hook #'after-init-hook #'reposition-after-init)
This works when you do NOT specify (left or top) in the default-frame-alist or initial-frame-alist
It would be nice to have a (current-monitor . t) in the default-frame-alist or initial-frame-alist to do this ;-)
