I term has a killer feature that neither of suggested have - native control of tmux (tmux -CC).

For heavy tmux user it could be a deal breaker, especially given that kovid (kitty author) is hostile towards tmux.

What does the tmux integration actually do? I use tmux all the time on my mac all servers, but I remember I once tried the iterm integration and everything was very confusing and I turned it off. I just always start iterm, start or attach to existing tmux, and just have 1 tab open and use tmux normally. Then I sometimes open up other tabs, where I ssh into various servers and `tmux -a` to my session there.

What extra stuff do I get from this "tmux integration" ?

Just convenience. Instead of tmux panels and windows you get native macos windows, that you can manage with rectangle or any other app.

Eh, I'm really not a fan of iterm's tmux integration. It tries to do too much. I can't have my tmux statusbar (only the iterm one) and it really wants you to use iterm panes (and iterm commands to split them...). I like that my terminal config is mostly portable.
