But the fact that a buffer visits a file doesn't yet make it a good
candidate, does it?

Well, no not generally. 
Maybe we should step back and talk about the intended uses of this
command?
I wanted a way to filter out buffers unrelated to the project I’m in, without having to clean up the whole buffer list

When would you want to switch to a buffer whose name you
don't know in advance?
For me, almost always, though not because I don’t know its name. I’d like emacs to help me remember and offer auto completion. 

As another provocative thought, should we perhaps consider the
major-mode of the buffer?

Maybe, but I don’t see how just yet. I thought about this, but a project isn’t generally bound to one major mode, is it? I’d love some tips here.
