Just fired up the real opera (v12.16 b1860) I still have around and use occasionally to this day to test this.
Sure enough the tiling feature is there. Right click the tab bar and go to the arrange menu.
Vivaldi (by the original Opera people) has tiling.
I find vivaldi is not really suited for my several hundreds opened tabs navigation style yet. But I have good hopes for vivaldi and encourage people to try it and even use it as their main browser.

What is the solution you are currently using that you want them to implement?
Is quick commands (F2) + typing the tab name to navigate around not sufficient on Vivaldi?

Unfortunately the quick commands window is very slow. It definitely doesn't live up to its name.
I love it, though, and I truly hope performance is something they tackle soon.

This may or may not be a problem specific to your own installation though. While I don't have 100+ tabs, I've been using quick commands for everything since I started using Vivaldi without any issues - it is very snappy for me.

Could be. I've noticed it slows down more when you have a lot of bookmarks. Ideally you could choose what type of results quick search would return. I'd be perfectly happy only searching tabs and commands.
Edit: the Wikipedia page shows tiling in Opera 1.0 in 1995... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Opera_web_brows...
I'm with you though. I dumped Opera the moment they became a featureless skin around Chrome. Such a sad event
Operas best days were the early to mid 2000s
