The (left,right)_seperators for me are | instead of the cool looking arrows. How do I enable these?
$ cp ~/.tmux/.tmux.conf.local ~/
Then edit `.tmux.conf.local` and uncomment the #tmux_conf_theme=powerline_patched_font line.
For the powerline symbol to work, you need patched fonts: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts
I can't stand the default C-b either, it feels like an awkward reach to me and makes tmux seem to require way too much chording.
I've recently switched to using C-j, which duplicates the enter key. I also changed next and prev page from n / p to C-n / C-p. That way I can fly through my tabs with a single press & hold on the Ctrl key. So much nicer.
C-a conflicts with bash's move to start of line. Not everyone would care, but that's one of the few bash shortcuts I personally consider important.

I learnt to C-a twice and then I switched my prompt to vi input mode. But I get your concerns!
C-j does make a nice tmux prefix though; give it a whirl and see. Part of it for me is the two-hand chord versus one-hand chord. C-j feels easier for me to hit than either C-a or C-b.
In any case, I forgot to compliment you on the project - your tmux modeline does look awesome!

Might steal C-n and C-P, although C-[ C-] are tempting.

It would fight my ingrained emacs muscle memory habits, especially when not using tmux. But, I really should just change my habit to use the home key instead of using C-a at all. I had a narrative in my head about home & end keys not always working over ssh, but now I think they work everywhere I need; That story might have been burned into my head decades ago.

Then, I made in sort everything is self-contained.
