Comment (by dd32):

 > What if we just reused the uploader code Koop used in the customizer,
 and just dropped the iFrame modal altogether.

 I was thinking of the Customizer's display, but didn't think it'd fit well
 here - for the simple fact that many posts will often have a larger number
 of attachments to sort through, which is why I went for a grid rather than
 a list which expands (and will make the column expand forever in some
 cases) - The sidebar is small, and not well suited for lots of content.

 As for getting rid of the iframe all together, I believe that's a long-
 term goal from some, and one I like, but it might not have to be linked to
 this specifically as it can be a time suck (of course if it is easy to
 implement it here specifically just for featured images, why not)
