I'm very reluctant to upgrade to gnome3, I have it on one box, and
don't like it. I want workspaces related to different tasks, like
programming, web browsing, watching a video, listening to music, etc.
That could involve e.g. having terminals, etc running on each
workspace. Does this hinder several instances of a terminal, web
browser, etc, to be launched?

Look like there is a gnome-session-fallback similar to gnome 2
available. Can it be installed safely, instead of gnome-session? Does it
use the features of gnome-shell? Other alternatives, execept Linux Mint,
including most of gnome, xfce4?
