Is reassembling out-of-order packets not possible, or did I just miss
the boat on that?
The TCP dissector currently doesn't handle out-of-order packets well in the reassembly code. It might be possible to make it do so - or it might be possible to have a layer in the dissector to handle OOO packets even if reassembly isn't enabled, above the layer that does reassembly.
