Can we split setup-workflow.config.yml per project?

No. Multiple path-filer orb jobs like

#.circleci/config.yml

version: 2.1

setup: true

orbs:
  # https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/api-preview-docs/blob/path-filtering/docs/path-filtering.md
  path-filtering: circleci/path-filtering@0.0.2

workflows:
  setup-workflow:
    jobs:
      # multiple configs for setup-workflow cause {"message":"Pipeline is not in setup state."} error
      - path-filtering/filter:
          config-path: .circleci/app1.yml
          mapping: |
            app1/.* app1 true
          base-revision: origin/master
      - path-filtering/filter:
          config-path: .circleci/app2.yml
          mapping: |
            app2/.* app2 true
          base-revision: origin/master

produce the error below.

Exited with code exit status 1
CircleCI received exit code 1

So we cannot explicitly configure workflow per application like,

      - path-filtering/filter:
          config-path: .circleci/app1.yml
          mapping: |
            apps/app1/.* app1 true
          base-revision: origin/master
      - path-filtering/filter:
          config-path: .circleci/app2.yml
          mapping: |
            apps/app2/.* app2 true
          base-revision: origin/master
