I had that setup for quite some time - starting one Emacs server on the
console, and then several emacsclients as parts of tmux and stumpwm
window configurations. 

But it crashed too often - and it was just too painful to recover all
the emacsclients in all the window-configurations. 

So nowadays I have one (non-server) Emacs instance for doing the real
work, and another server instance which I use for the convenience of
getting emacsclients everywhere for some quick adhoc stuff, without
caring much when it crashes.
