Chrome's policy is to only open popups if the call to window.open() is directly on the call stack of an input event. The problem is, this doesn't play nicely with the deferred execution strategy used everywhere in Composer. One option is to create a modal dialog with a link "click here to go to workbench" link.

Rather than doing an ajax request (or whatever the async procedure is) that opens a Workbench window in its success callback, would it work to immediately open a window that starts the async procedure and then redirects to Workbench on success?

The workaround here is to provide clickable link in the "execution" panel which opens a new window, so if window.open() is suppressed the user can still easily get to the container request.
