It is not news for me that Google exists :-)

They look so but in fact they are not. They are mostly about starting
several tmux windows from a wrapper script like in
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5609192/how-to-set-up-tmux-so-that-it-starts-up-with-specified-windows-opened#5752901
and https://gist.github.com/todgru/6224848 and others.

I'm sure this should be possible from ~/.tmux.conf but the limited
variants I've found online did not work for me.

If from personal experience you have a working solution, I'd be most
grateful.
