Is it possible to keep certain tabs locked in Safari, so that each time I launch it they open automatically?
If you are using latest version, use tab group and they will stay open in all devices.

As @mina mentioned, Tab Groups are very useful for this. I include all of my daily forums in a group, everything stays in order. Just remember to close any newly created tabs, if you don’t want them to be a member of the grouping.

I already use tab groups to separate work from
Personal. What I’m looking for are those pinned tabs which I remember now but couldn’t really find when I looked earlier
Open the sidebar and you should be able to see a separate “group” above the tab groups. Tabs cannot be pinned (as far as I know) within tab groups.
For me, pinned tabs are in the Start Page group. (This depends on the setting in Safari preferences. I have set it to Start Page )
If you have two windows, the un-pinned tabs in this “group” would be different. But the pinned tabs are present in both (as seen below).

That’s useful: that I’m not able to pin tabs if I’m in a Tab group. I don’t see the point of not being able to do that. But it explains why I couldn’t do it earlier

After having zero problems with pinned tabs pinning tabs has gotten flaky for me the past week or so. Frequently when I reboot or just quite Safari some or all of my pinned tabs disappear or will appear as full open tabs that are not pinned. Anyone else have this issue?

I switched to using tab groups on all three devices (Mac (for work and work tabs open), iPad (for personal) and iPhone (no default tab group) just for googling)
But I found an issue on Safari for the iPad. I have about 60 tabs in my Personal tab group which I use on my iPad most. But every time, I with some interval, open Safari on the iPad it defaults to the Start Page in Safari with no tabs open…
Is there a way to set the default to a Tab Group in Safari on iOS? I want my iPad to open the Personal tab group every time I launch Safari
