> having uniform multiplexing of shell windows between local and remote environments is super useful for muscle memory.
Yep, this is why I use the same .tmux.conf on my servers and my local machines. I don't have to care about my terminal emulator - I might be using a fully featured Windows Terminal or iTerm, or I might be using xterm or st on some spartan system. My navigation works the same everywhere.
Is this really a requirement of tmux though? I have essentially this. Essentially, because I purposefully change my prefix for my emulator to remind me if I'm local or remote (tmux), but other than that it is fairly uniform.
