After performing Step "1. Delete Caches and test.", my iCloud tabs from all my other devices were visible again in macOS Sierra (10.12.3 (16D32)) Safari (Version 10.0.3 (12602.4.8)) when I re-launched Safari.
1. go System Preferences - Icloud - uncheck Safari
2. restart mac
3. go System Preferences - Icloud - check Safari
worked on mine
to be exact, my problem was that suddenly, my Macbook Air Safari could not see all the tabs in all of my devices when i click the double square on the upper right hand corner of Safari. That double box opens up all open tabs across all devices. i tried the above steps and instantly, all the tabs were accessible again on my MBA.
An article : Set up and use iCloud Tabs - Apple Support
Sign out and sign back into iCloud on your Mac.
There was also a bug that if you had iCloud Drive turned off for Safari, your tabs wouldn't sync.
Thanks. This fixed mine as well.
