I'll bite. What's so obvious? I suspend jobs in bash all the time while using tmux.

Often TMUX it's for tasks you woudn't suspend. And, if any, you can just use kill -STOP and kill -CONT among other signals from another tmux pane.

Or if you want to stay in same pane, (chord, I still use C-b), :, "send-keys C-z"
