From an experience POV, this is a small iterative step forward, on a project that will bring a lot of important improvements to the foundations of the site editor.
However I thinj we need a different icon and name than "Home" for this, as it will be easily confused with this site editor section being a top level affordance rather than a separate section as it is now. Instead of "Home" with the house icon, you can either call it "Overview" and use a different icon, such as brush or verse (which is nicer, but is also used for the Verse block). Or you can remove the home icon. The latter would be my preference, as it matches the existing Site Editor behavior, even if it comes with the limitation of not being able to go back to the initial state; that initial state isn't that useful. Separately, as a site editor replacement, I'd expect clicking the site logo to take you to the top level of the admin. No blockers, but something to think about.
