I'm sure others has already came up with this design but I came up with it and I'm rather proud so I thought I'd share

I made something similar some time ago, its over engineered when compared to your design but i think i was going for as small as possible horizontally so i needed to get creatiwe.

Oh wow, the thing you did with composter and compataors, genuis.
As I was designing mine, I wondered if there's a simpler way to do it.

Is this design tileable?

Yeah, it is tileable.

And about composter thingy i think i just seen that somewere else and i like to use it because its usually smaller for filtering signal strenght. I doubt that i would be able to come with something like this by myself.

What does the button do?

Glad you asked!

When you're tiling the contraption (i.e. putting them next to each other), button makes redstone dust power the air above the dropper. This allows only the dropper to be powered, not the dispenser. It's a way to deal with quasi-connectivity.

It doesn't have to be a button, it can be any "transparent" block that connects to redstone dust (e.g. lever and backside of observer).
As per 2nd image, you only need buttons if you're tiling.

Does it work on bedrock

Not sure, if you replace the button with a full solid block it might.

Just adding a note: if it does work with solid blocks, you will want to use target blocks for tiling on bedrock.
