Just to be clear, Fallback is not designed to be a black version of G2.

Sure, I do real work on G3 too thanks, we are not all facetweeters and
googlebook users posting cat pictures.

G3 required me to adjust my workflow a little, but I am more productive
now. Making each workspace target at a single / 2 applications actually
improved my productivity greatly.

Try the alternate-alt-tab extension if you like, some people find it
improves working with large numbers of windows on one workspace. Or try
to adjust your workflow a little.

Try "favorites in panel" extension

Personally it is faster for me to use the keyboard, set a shortcut to
launch a terminal, or hit super and type 'te' + enter

Are you talking about fallback panel here?

Try alternate alt-tab or adjust your workflow slightly.
