I think you are pretty accurate in your assessment of the target market. The way I'd phrase it is Sublime Text, with VS Code extensions and modal editing. I don't imagine the target users want anything beyond the modes and text handling, particularly the way Vim handles tabs and splits.

This is based on me personally. I use the vim plugin in VS Code. I wish it was closer to real Vim keybindings, search etc but I want to keep the overall handling of tabs and files.

So Onivim is very interesting to me, I have purchased it, because it looks like it will give me the combination of speed, plugins and conventional editing experience that I'm looking for.

(Dev on Oni2)

We are adding Vim-style tabs as well (i.e. tabs are a view on to buffers, where a buffer can be any split etc as expected).

That said, you are right that a lot of people in Oni1 were interested in a "modern" (in heavy quotes there) way of doing tabs, where a split could have its own tabs etc, as is the way in VSCode etc.
