Tmux sessions-like package for Emacs?
I opened a ticket https://github.com/nex3/perspective-el/issues/198 but can’t promise to get around to it soon.

How to simply manage buffers?
I have tried to get this behaviour for a while. The closest I have gotten is using perspective.el, but it ended up being a bit clunky when I tried it like 4 years ago and now I just used bookmark+ which can save/load desktop files as bookmarks.

perspective-tabs: perspectives as tabs in the tab-bar
To scratch a personal itch, I created a little package that integrates perspective-el into the built-in tab-bar.

Multi project management - perspective, persp-mode, tab-bar-mode, or...?
But I'm rethinking about my approach, as tab-bar-mode would give me nice visual help (#3), and it seems difficult to recover a perspective using perspective, and persp-mode may be a better fit in that sense (#4). The Treemacs integration isn't working for me either, and I get the same list of file trees for all perspectives -- I'm pretty sure I'm doing something stupid, but this was handled nicely with Doom Emacs's workspace support (#5). But perspective seems to work best for segregated buffer list (#1).

Grouping org headings
I think perspective.el is about what I’m looking for. If you had a list of org-ids, theses could be brought up in indirect buffers, and then those buffers added to the perspective group.

[Perspective.el package] Issues with persp-mode-prefix-key
As for why this broke: this change went into Perspective a few weeks after Emacs 28 shipped. You either updated your packages recently after not updating for a while, or you switched to Emacs 28 (or later). Full discussion surrounding this change: https://github.com/nex3/perspective-el/issues/180

My IDE is too heavy so I moved to Emacs
It sounds a bit like you want „perspective.el“ (1). It allows you to define „virtual workspaces“ of buffers with individual window layouts. On each virtual desktop the standard buffer list is replaced with a shorter showing only buffers belonging to the current context. I use it every day to keep „code“ buffers separate from my „test“ buffers.
