Other than separate windows... is it very different if we use different Chrome user profiles to keep the saved logins, sessions, and cookies separate?

This does work. Not quite as nice as Firefox’s multi-account containers because tabs can’t co-mingle in the same window. But totally serviceable.
I use a combination of both every day at work.
I like chrome for some things too because you can make a single-site-browser window in chrome, so certain websites can be treated like first class applications in the alt tab menu.

yes absolutely.
I did this for my local jupyter notebook server and pinned it to my taskbar. effectively works like a desktop app.
The amount of storage that these chrome profiles occupy on the hard disk is sometimes irksome. I have not compared it to Firefox though.
