macOS has you covered when it comes to finding the right balance for you, providing a full suite of controls for managing interruptions and staying up to date with your notifications. It doesn't take long to set up these notification options, and then once they're configured, you can use Focus modes for specific scenarios (like working or watching movies).
App notification settings
Every macOS app should ask for permission to show notifications when you first install it. However you respond to this first request, you can configure notifications for all your installed programs at any time by opening the Apple menu from the macOS menu bar (top left), then choosing System Settings and Notifications.
First, you get the chance to set the notification settings for the operating system as a whole: You can choose whether or not pop-ups appear when your Mac is locked, and when the display is asleep, and when you're mirroring or sharing the screen. You're able to control whether previews are shown with notifications by default, and you can also give Apple Intelligence permission to summarize your notifications.

If you set notifications as Alerts, they'll stay in the top right corner of the display until you dismiss them.
Focus modes
Switch from Notifications to Focus in System Settings on macOS to see the modes available: You can make use of these preset ones, or click Add Focus to create your own. There's also a Share across devices toggle switch just underneath the Focus modes list, which you can turn off if you don't want all your iPhone modes showing up on macOS as well (and vice versa).

Click this icon, then Focus, and you can pick from your list of modes or head to the Focus Settings screen again.
Syncing with iPhones and iPads
You've got a few options for extricating yourself from this—including just turning off Messages and FaceTime notifications on macOS. On your iPhone, open Settings then choose Cellular, and you get a Calls on Other Devices menu, where you can turn the toggle switches off for any Macs you've got connected. There's a similar setting for text messages, which you can find from iOS Settings by tapping Apps > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.

In both cases, you get the option to disable connections via your cell number, or to sign out of your Apple account completely, for these specific apps. You can pick and choose the options you want, depending on how much connectivity you want on your Mac (including the ability to send messages and initiate calls from the desktop).
