While tmux has issues this would likely be the opposite of what I want because now my processes are reliant on vim. There is zellij if you want a fast Rust-based alternative to tmux.

I use dtach to launch console processes with persistence.

I havent switched to neovim yet, but for a lot of my work I have very long running vim sessions that i reconnect to. I find it much nicer having a single system managing my environment than multiple different layers.

Also tmux is a terminal emulator, where-as dtach passes through, and I find a lot less weird color handling & other bugs with dtach.

off topic, but what makes zellij faster than tmux? Are there any benchmarks (I am unable to find any on their site or github page) or is it just because it is written in rust that it is assumed to be fast?
I'm not suggesting it is faster than tmux, just that is is a fast alternative compared to some of the other alternatives. I'd recommend trying it out.
