No, that's pretty much it. There are two things I want beyond simply
"workspaces" to hold different tool settings for different functional
groups:

  1. You can create a view based on anything, not just functional
     groups, as will be the default. This includes opening components
     in their own view and editing them, or saving views as components.

  2. Functional groups give one more structure to attach DRC rules to,
     between individual components and the entire PCB.

This sounds great!  If you save a view as a component, it would be good
to have an optional way to backannotate a symbol for it into the schematic.
Are you thinking that way?  To save a view as a component with pins and busses
attached just like a normal component that came from a footprint?
