Maybe I'm too "old school" but I've been using side tabs for years, but a 
simple manual implementation rather than anything automated.

I have a one-page master document just for side tabs that has ALL of the thumb 
tabs on it for the entire book (or more than one recto page if there are 
multiple sequences of tabs), properly spaced with graphics and text grouped, 
and then simply select and copy and paste the relevant group onto the master 
page of each chapter.

One copy & paste action per chapter. Works like a charm.

Yes, and yes. However, I would suggest you use thumbs tabs on every page, and 
move them down the page as the chapters increment. This makes them easier to 
use. I can tell you how to do this (automatically, unstructured) if you decide 
to go down this route.
