Seems like a reasonable option, do you have a mockup of how it would look,
keeping into consideration the first
requirement about using minimal real estate? (it's one of my main drivers
for getting into this, sick of working with
previews that extend past the end of the screen)

Also, services for a particular layer can be disabled (even WMS, more often
WMTS is just not configured), what to do in that case?
Hide the controls? Gray them out?

Nothing we can do about it I'm afraid... before this we had people
complaining GeoServer would crash their browser and/or getting in a swap
storm.

How does this work with large catalogs? We also need to retain pageability.

Yes... no... maybe? The table filter already provides the ability to select
by keyword, which gets very close to this but also
allows to filter by other bits (e.g., data type). We could have both I
guess, with some redundancy, and with the usual issues
with large catalogs.
