I included a picture of one of a few designs I'm curious about. Might they be useful filtration tools? Could they aid in dissolving gasses in liquids?
I'm love the diy component of home chem and I have the strongest feeling these could be very useful somehow...

I use borosilicate coffee plungers (French press) as beakers all the time. I like the tall format. And they are cheaper and more accessible for me.
And the stainless steel mesh is often useful fir filtering.
I have also bought a tea infuser and some fancy double walled glass cups. I thought the infuser might be good foe extractions or gas bubbling as you
have suggested. And the cups for low temperature applications. I have never used them.

I too like the borosilicate (or toughened glass even) tall form 'beaker' that is part of a cafetiere (French press),
I've collected a few from charity/thrift shops/stores.
Especially good for precipitation reactions, or bubbling gasses.
I have not found use for the rest of the french press parts.
I think that I would use the teapot shown above to make tea
