Yes.
Or is it just me who thinks that it would improve workflow and

Not just you. The good thing with LyX is that you can navigate easily
from paragraph to paragraph with the keyboard. But in order to make
that feature really useful without being forced to use the mouse, you
would also need shortcuts for navigating between sections.
In case it's interesting, I'll file an enhancement
request. Doesn't sound terribly difficult to implement, but I may be
wrong...
Should not be terribly hard indeed. All the code for scrolling
settings is in BufferView class if you want to experiment.
The other thing I've considered, along these lines, is the ability to
collapse sections, a la the ability to collapse for loops, functions,
etc, in any decent programming editor. That would in some ways serve a
very similar purpose, especially if you could just hit "Collapse All"
and then use the outliner to uncollapse what you actually wanted to
edit. Little triangles at the side, like in QtCreator, would work too.
