If the project share code that you want to refactor, then in Intellij's terminology they are modules, not projects

Import each one individually as a new module in a root project, and everything will be hunky dory.

A "module" in this case is just an atomic closure of some sort.

I've got plenty of Intellij projects with >50 modules, each of which are their own git repository, just fine.

You kind of described the exact problem there. You have "plenty of projects with >50 modules". I don't have "plenty of workspaces", just one that contains all my "plenty of projects", almost all of which then depend in some way on a tree of hierarchies also within that workspace.

There are no islands. There's now switching between anything. It's just all my code and dependencies, always open and accessible and instantly available.

Creating a new project in Eclipse then requires no importing of modules on my part, I just create a new project, it's in my workspace and voila—it's now an integral part of my universe of code.
