I'd think that the area for the easiest investment in this problem space wouldn't be on the creation of a new terminal emulator (like iTerm2 or the Windows Terminal), but instead as a piece of software running on the remote server, something like tmux. Imagine instead a tmux that could allow multiple users to connect to it simultaneously, and drive different panes at the same time, or view the commands that another user is using in a given pane.
Then, regardless of what terminal emulator you choose, you'd be able to collaborate with your teammates, once you connect to the same server session.
When I think about a "Terminal 2.0", I imagine something more like [this](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/3121 https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/3121). Ideally though, whatever protocol for rich feedback and content embedding wouldn't be tightly coupled between the shell and the Terminal, which I don't believe is something that [UpTerm](https://github.com/railsware/upterm https://github.com/railsware/upterm) did well (though correct me if I'm wrong.)

I think this is what tmate does? I haven't used it, but I saw it mentioned on HN a couple days ago. https://tmate.io/ https://tmate.io/
