about the flag you mentioned, edge://flags/#edge-window-tab-manager
it's been available in Edge canary, if everything goes well, it will make it to Beta and eventually stable release of Edge too, maybe even becomes an option in Edge settings.
in Windows settings, this option only shows window(s) for me, not individual tabs. tested just now on Edge 87 stable and 89 canary.
showing only open windows should be the same experience you'd have in other browsers such as Firefox.
if you're still seeing individual tabs even though you're using "open windows only" option then something must be wrong as it's not the expected behavior.
make sure Edge is up to date and more importantly, Windows 10 is up to date.
as a suggestion, you can use virtual desktops in Windows 10 for organizing your works and separate them in any order you want, they can be given custom names, open programs can be moved between virtual desktops, and also, Edge in Canary (probably Dev channel too by now), supports custom names for each window.
