Solutions like tmux arguably exist because terminals have poor UIs, and the terminal protocol is too weak to form the foundation for the kind of interactivity and statefulness provided by modern graphical UIs. If terminals were as powerful as, say, web browsers (not that I'm suggesting that anyone conflate them), the world would be a different, happier place. I have the opposite impression. I actually anjoy time spent in my tmux + vim setup while I hate the time spent in a web browser. Web browsers seem bloated to me and I always feel like I'm forced to use the mouse too much while using them. I've heard about vimperator, but every time I've tried it seemed poorly integrated (the authors did an incredible job nonetheless). The only drawback of delegating scrolling to tmux that I see is that my experience running tmux locally and using ssh to use a remote machine with another (remote) tmux session wasn't great. Keyboard shortcuts were usually caught by the local machine and not by the remote one. So I just don't run tmux locally when I want to ssh into a remote machine. Problem solved more or less.
