Another great example of the eternal question, where the indirection go? Note that when browser tabs were invented this same debate happened.

Now I have terminal tabs in my IDE and can mix and split with code in all sorts of ways

+1. I think that about summarises it.

Window managers can plausibly already do a lot of what other software can do, yet in practice, popular workflows tend to assume very little from the window manager.

I try to avoid terminal multiplexers in favour of Sway/Emacs/dtach/SSH multiplexing, but I still often reach for tmux.
