Screen can attach to serial terminals, which I don't think tmux can do, yet?

I don't think tmux is likely to be interested in that. Screen is fine to keep it though (I definitely used it in courses for that purpose).

I just use picocom (possibly inside of tmux) for the rare occasions that I need to connect using serial ports.

I tried to use several others, but found screen to be the one that Just Worked as a serial console.

Yup. minicom also tends to "just work" for me, but I'd rather use one tool than two for this.
