Thanks for suggestions.
The current implementation is not yet finished. It will take
a few days to polish and push remaining patches.
But you are welcome to try it out now and to make suggestions
for improvements.

Prefilling the initial contents of the minibuffer is deprecated.
This is what the documentation says about it:
The argument INITIAL is mostly deprecated; we recommend using a
non-‘nil’ value only in conjunction with specifying a cons cell for
HISTORY. For default input, use DEFAULT instead.

Your suggestions 3, 4, 5 are currently already under construction,
but for the suggestion 2 of adding new faces your help is needed
to design a set of new faces. This your list could be used as a base
where new faces could be created:
> * [1], [2] and [8] are tabs that do not belong to any group (ungrouped)
> * [3] is a collapsed group tab of a group named "group1", where tab
> [4] belongs to the same group and is hidden
> * [5] and [7] are tabs that belongs to the current group (same group)
> * [6] is the current active tab
