You might consider two opportunities here: If the treemacs window is
"frame bound", then it's probably best to make it a side window so that
C-x 1 does not delete it and it does not become the sole window of the
frame.

​It is frame-bound.  I tested display-buffer-in-side-window

and that did the trick.  Thanks.  Is set-window-dedicate-p

also needed or does the side window setup take care of that?

If you don't want delete-other-windows to delete this window,

then also add:

(set-window-parameter (selected-window) 'no-delete-other-windows t)
