This one needs more thought but, somehow it feels easier to go "right, and then back to the left" than it is to go "left, and then back to the right". The stack helps with the first case, but not the second, maybe? Maybe that's just a fundamental quality of trees?

No, the stack works both ways. Maybe I just need to get better at using the stack.
I also intuitively feel like this will have a scrolling pane, similar to Finder on OSX, and am almost startled when I can't scroll "left" without a bunch of page loads and recontextualizations.
do you mean scrolling left to get back to prior panel states? like to go back in time? atm the history stack is meant to do this... but i do know what you mean...
Not quite. The stack is a "history" and works very well for that. The scrolling pane I imagine is "hierarchy", where left is more towards the top quest, and right is towards leaf nodes. Being able to jump between the high level and the drilldown is useful when the hierarchy has structural value and not merely relational value.
