tab-bar-mode: How to change tab bar appearence?
Another thing you might consider (this depends on how many tabs you usually keep open, etc.) is not displaying tabs in the tab-bar at all (setq tab-bar-show nil) and displaying them in the echo-area instead. I use a combination of https://github.com/fritzgrabo/tab-bar-echo-area and https://github.com/qaiviq/echo-bar.el to give a consistent but very unobtrusive presentation of the tabs in the echo bar on the bottom right. You can see that in this image -- and my config for it is here.

Consult-project - consult extension for project.el
A combination of these two will probably be super interesting: 1. project-tab-groups 2. tab-bar-echo-area.

[ANN] New package: perject
Sounds good, I'm going to try it. You might want to add https://github.com/fritzgrabo/project-tab-groups to the related package section of the readme.

Help moving from projectile+perspective to project.el+<something>?
I enjoy using https://github.com/fritzgrabo/project-tab-groups which also integrates project.el and tab-bar.el

Moveable tabs + workgroup setup?
I might be wrong, but it sounds like you're on Emacs 27. If you can, check out Emacs 28 (or newer). In addition to the existing tab-bar-move-tab (move tab right), it also provides a bindable tab-bar-move-tab-backward command to move a tab left. Emacs 28 also introduces the concept of "tab groups" and a way to keep all tabs but those of the currently active group hidden (see tab-bar-format, and specifically its tab-bar-format-tabs-groups option). It'll still show the names of the other, inactive tab groups, but at least it doesn't show all their contained tabs. You might be able to hide inactive groups altogether using face properties. Regarding the integration with workgroup packages and jumping between groups of tabs: I had a similar issue regarding the integration of the tab bar and Emacs' project.el package (a project could be considered a workgroup I guess), so I wrote the project-tab-groups package to help with that. The elisp is rather simple, you might be able to take inspiration from it and rework it for use with workgroups/perspective/etc. In case you can't upgrade to Emacs 28, you might want to check out the tab-bar-lost-commands package to help with bindable commands for moving tabs forward and backward (and some other goodies).

Tab-bar-mode and project.el integration?
You might want to check out https://github.com/fritzgrabo/project-tab-groups. It provides a simple (but still) integration of tab-bar-mode and project.el.
