FYI, command-<number> will let you switch between browser tabs. So command-2 will bring you to the second tab (starting from the left), etc. I tend to only navigate between the first five tabs or so in this manner (basically, what I can reach with my left hand), and I drag tabs I'm likely to navigate to like this to the left.
What this looks like in practice is:
<tab1> some admin console </tab1>
<tab2> email </tab2>
...
<tab10> documentation about the admin console </tab10>
(drag documentation in tab10 to occupy tab2)
Now I can use command-2/1 to go between the console documentation and the console itself. IMO, the cost of dragging a tab to the left is much cheaper than having to break your visual connection with the screen in order to hunt through the touchbar.
