Sorry for the miscomprehension; it was getting late.

As for examples I have been living for a few weeks without my session
getting restored correctly[1] and, while not a *huge* inconvenience,
it is nevertheless quite boring to start each day adding a
gnome-terminal, moving it to desktop four and creating three tabs.

This is my little concrete experience with missing session management,
I am totally ok with it as I choosed to test gnome-session 2.23; my
comments here are just ouf of fear users, when 2.24 is released, would
get the same problems.
