Retaining the nomenclature of 'window-state-get' is part of the plan.
But I'm not sure whether we want to retain all of what is recorded in
a window state.

(buffer . #<buffer *scratch*>) rather

Yes.  But this would be stored on a per frame basis.

Yes.  And maybe the body size in pixels as well.

That's one way to do that.  I'm not yet sure whether there's a need
for a function like 'window-prev-buffer' getting me the buffer shown
the last time redisplay called 'window-state-change-functions'.  If
not, we could encapsulate all information for the user in the alist
as you propose.

That would be considerably simpler to implement.
