FWIW what I've observed in an unrelated usability study (one we did for
systemd that involved working with terminals) is in gnome-shell, when
you go to the overview you have a bunch of black rectangles (the
terminal thumbs) that all look the same, so the task of identifying
which black rectangle was the right one to click on to get the terminal
you needed was challenging.
We had requests to also show application icons in addition to the
window previews in the past[0], but of course that doesn't help the
multiple-terminal case at all ...
I actually prefer not having an indication of which app is running, nor
do I want previews. That way I don't need to worry about showing someone
my screen while I'm doing a workspace switch. The key for me is consistently
having the same app/ssh connection in the same workspace, so i don't need
a preview to know which workspace to switch to.
