maybe, the the option for dm to see dm map (with secrets) while player see player map would be nice as well
This already exists and was available since the beginning. Maps has a DM map where DM can see everything, choose to hide hidden tags, monster tokens and employ fog of war. There is Spectator View which allows DMs to see what players see (which does not show hidden things).

It is however, the same map, not the "Map from the book labelled with rooms" vs the "Blank map of walls and no DM notes". Though I'd say this would be better as a DM overlay than seeing a different map and trying to align them
If I use the "dm map" players would also see room number, secret passage, traps.... No way to hide them as they are on the map itself and not an overlay
Easily solved by having the DM map in a separate tab and in Maps use player map and just have things hidden that only DM can see.

yes, that can be done with this work around, but the whole point of maps is to have less things opened, not more... all other vtt do this natively (foundryvtt, roll20, etc...) so i am sure dndbeyond can work on a fix to make it work
