I don't know of any non-Sabellian who would refard the Trinity as a monad.

I think we largely agree, though I think mainstream theology, at least in the West, managed to avoid tritheism. At least if you think of things in their terms. I think Augustine's vision of the Trinity manages to have a distinction without tritheism.

Tritheism was a tiny niche on the fringe of the Coptic church. IIrC John Philoponus was of that school.
