You can already bind <tab> independently of TAB / C-i on graphical
displays.
(I don't see how you could separate C-i and TAB because they're
literally the same thing.)

IMHO there's very little point in trying to account for window
managers using Ctrl or Meta. That's inevitably going to be disruptive
to Emacs users, and will most likely affect a lot more than just TAB.
I've used a bunch of window managers, and I can't remember a single
one where I didn't configure it to disable most of its bindings, and
move the things I was keeping to non-conflicting sequences.
I see it as a normal part of configuring a system, if you use Emacs.
