I love the idea to get desktop workflow on mobile! The dream of Haida is still alive :) To echo Alive's concerns, we shouldn't do anything that makes smooth performance harder than it is already; prototyping is key. Similarly I think it's important to have the right transitions to indicate where the user is within their sessions, especially since this homescreen as a "link" will be completely new.
As for edge gestures to navigate back and forward (like mobile safari), I quite like it. Perhaps as an advanced used case, a two finger edge gesture could swipe between tabs/sessions windows.

Ideally service workers would handle all "system message" type events, and not always open a new session when needing to show some content UI.

Again, hopefully service workers will handle the session management part, but switching between session automatically will need some sort of transition animation (like a mini-task manager) so the user doesn't get lost.
