this really depends on you configure it the way you want, I went through various dot files and found few very useful.

one tmux lifesaver is this one for me:

# split panes using | and -

bind | split-window -h

bind - split-window -v

unbind '"'

unbind %

I think you should just explore various dotfiles. does not take much time that way.

I think I need to sit down with a list of available behaviors and default keybindings and parallelize them, leaning toward keeping vim's default.

But, even better, I think I can make tmux and i3 modal by mapping config switching to a keybinding. In this way they can be put into a command mode and all keybindings in command mode can be shared. Include a visual indicator and I think it'd work really well.

I use _ instead of - for the vertical split. But other than that, I can really recommend these splits.

I also agree with OP on keeping with Vim defaults. Simply because you are more likely to find yourself behind a non-configured Vim than a non-configured tmux.
