You can use byobu for long-running shell sessions. Or just tmux, or screen,
but I personally prefer byobu *over* tmux to  just tmux or screen. It will
survive logoffs.

Nowadays, the real (and, very much, only) reason to use virtual terminals
is to recover from a stuck graphical session.

I see it as an additional protection — a security feature, if you will.
