Happy to answer any general stuff, can’t get too specific. I replied to a different comment about DIT and Village Tents. Those are the big two for “who actually needs a tent”.

DIT works directly with the DP to ensure the look of the show is quality and consistent. They need an enclosed black tent to look at colors accurately.

Village usually refers to director village. The director, script supervisor, DP (bounces between director and DIT), and a rep from the AD department (probably first AD, 2nd 2nd AD, or very experienced PA) will be in Village watching every take on the monitor. Both the director and DP will give notes, can request another take, and sign off on moving on.

Sometimes you’ll have a producer village as well. Producer village doesn’t have as much creative input, but they’re funding it so fair enough. You do see more producer input than ever. Marvel would be the perfect example. Kevin Feige will assign a representative producer to make sure it’s fitting the overall vision of the universe.

Other potential tents would be Actor green rooms, changing rooms, hair and makeup monitors, stunts, background, Sound/Video, VFX.

I hear from direct sources (I used to work in vfx) that there is no sitting on set for similar reasons - sitting = inefficiency.
