I'm sorry to be unable to provide you with a better option, just an idea:

Would it be "somehow" possible to bind Alt+{1,…,9} to switch to the
first, second, third buffer?

C-x C-b shows that the buffers do have numbers and using Alt+:num: to
switch tabs within other applications is often used.

Best regards,
