We've been discussing changes to 'switch-to-prev-buffer' in Bug#69993
but ended up in disagreement on what to do.  Juri then implemented a
purely tab-bar based method.  For my Emacs I use an option that allows
it to switch to buffers that have been already displayed at least once
only and am quite happy with it (I've never managed to derive a suitable
regexp for all buffers I never want to switch to).

But I do not think that we need a hook for 'switch-to-prev-buffer'.  A
user may call it at any moment and the tab bar code must already know
how to deal with it via something like 'window-state-change-functions'
(and on a non-selected frame as well).
