The last Unicode standard changed the widths for a number of fancy symbols. While this was being adopted by various programs some of the terminals, fonts and similar updated much faster than system libraries. utf8proc was added to allow tmux to work for people who has a Unicode 9 or 10 terminal and a Unicode 7 or 8 or 9 libc (because utf8proc offered a later Unicode version).
It also helped for people on OS X because Apple don't really know what they are doing and broke some codepoints. I think this time has mostly passed for the moment. I don't recommend you use it unless you are seeing issues with character widths.
