That all works in screen, at least to some extent. Years ago I discovered I could write a script and connect its stdin to the stdout of whatever was in the screen, and vice versa. I think what led me to the discovery was someone's description of how to do zmodem over SSH to a network switch (it treated SSH like it was the serial console, expected zmodem for firmware updates, and made no attempt to support scp).
For that matter, screen can be a pretty good substitute for picocom (and it's commonly available everywhere). I believe that tmux removed direct serial (and raw pty?) support in an attempt to create a more maintainable codebase.
