I think there's actually a bug open about this: crbug.com/168180
Yes it would help with tab discards and He's dead jim in general.
I'm not sure if it would help in the particular case of this bug, but
it's very possible.
he's dead Jim should be due to low men, but we don't generally show that on CrOS anymore. instead we do the tab reload automatically (the white screen refresh you described).
if something crashed, you'll see an aw snap tab instead.
