Yeah, this seems fine to me. Everything's delineated by favicons already, as it has been since tabs appeared.
More generally: I really like firefox developer edition's UI. It's dense and pragmatic, and I think the toolbar customizer they've built is one of the best of any application I've used. Broadly I think they've been doing stellar work, especially when they aren't blindly copying Chrome. Chrome has made some nice UI improvements that have deserved their spread, but I'm glad that Firefox has copied some and rapidly changed them, and abandoned others.
Also: container tabs. They're so, so good. And the colored bar on the tab is more than sufficient to identify them IMO. The UX is a little janky when it comes to modifying your containers, but the core concept is marvelous and steadily (if slowly) improving.
If you want to see "design for design's sake", look at Safari. It changes rather significantly with almost every major OS upgrade. I think they broadly get away with it because they have far fewer features, but it's kinda bonkers sometimes.
