Ooooo, wow, the stackline would be really nice! i3's method is decent, but not really my favorite. I think it conflicts with picom corner rounding(https://github.com/ibhagwan/picom) the last time I tried it, although it's been a while and perhaps it's better now. There is tabbed (https://tools.suckless.org/tabbed/) from the suckless folks. I'm using it on my bspwm setup and it works well. I'm not sure if it makes sense to integrate it into qtile though.
I think I made the suggestion of doing it with the TreeTab side panel is because it looks like most of the code is already there. I may try to create a frankenstein with snippets from slice, TreeTab, and Stack layouts, but not too sure of how it'll go.
