I agree with Christoph but there's another benefit to tabs. Most of us
have to deal with a lot of interruptions and then the eventual task of
getting back to whatever we were doing before the interruption.
Sometimes this goes several layers deep. If you need a different view
for dealing with the interruption, and you just pop it into your main
workspace, then what you were working on is gone. You may have dug down
a few layers into a hierarchy, collapsing some branches and expanding
others, searched for something, filtered something using the quick text
filter or context filter. If instead you go to a different workspace for
the interruption, when you are done you can go back to the original
workspace and just resume what you were doing. There's a cliche movie
scene where an office worker has had one too many interruptions and
sweeps everything from the surface of the desk onto the floor or into a
drawer. That's what I feel like when I change the view in one of my
workspaces. I guard against that by using the lock workspace option.
I wanted to respond to one other thing you mentioned which is the
visibility of multiple contacts. I almost never examine a task in order
to see what contexts it has. I would view that as a waste of my time -
that's not my job, it's my computer's job. I have views constructed for
when I am at my desk, when I am on the phone, when I am at a customer,
when I am in my yard, etc. Each one filters for the appropriate
contexts. So, if a task is in my current view I know that it has the
right contexts for me to be working on now. If I have to check the
contexts on a listed task and decide whether to work on the task based
on those contexts then my view needs to be refined.

Using workspace (tabs) you can quickly change several filter settings,
particularly the view, but also filter changes you made to the view,
and a possible zoom. I have some workspaces for quickly zooming in to
different life/work areas or current hotspots, this is very useful.
