I think tmux is overrated, at least when running locally. Tiling WM gets you the same efficient screen layout and keybind driven navigation, and it'll manage also graphical windows that you'll inevitably end up having (like browser). Also you'll avoid any tmux-in-tmux issues if you do connect to remote hosts, and all the terminal features (copypaste, urlgrab, scrolling, search etc) actually will work properly.
