Yes, splitting panes in iTerm will crate tmux panes on the remote. It's a pretty neat feature.

I mean, it uses it, but it no longer feels like tmux, and you don’t have nice tmux features like zoom-pane, right? iTerm2 is absolutely fantastic and I would miss it if I moved to a linux laptop, but I still haven’t seen the attraction of the tmux integration yet!

Very true that you don't really have access to zoom-pane type features. But they're also not really applicable. The integration is more about giving you a native "tabs and GUI windows" kind of feel, so that you can have multiple terminals open without needing to mess around with panes, tmux windows, etc. And of course, that gets provided in a persistent way (so that you can disconnect and reconnect at will) just like a normal tmux experience.

iTerm2 panes can be zoomed in.

As in maximise to take up the entire window? cmd+shift+enter to toggle, I love this feature.

Even better, it also maintains multiple windows!
