I like the idea of them being asleep in the grave until the rapture better than any sort of communal holding tank sort of affair like purgatory, etc.

But it's not like Purgatory. Purgatory is not a holding tank until the final judgement. Purgatory is a place where sinners work off their debt and are eventually released to heaven. The orthodox doctrine of heaven and hell conceives of these places as where the disembodied souls of the dead reside until the general resurrection and final judgement, a very different concept than working off your debt! The idea of soul sleep just isn't consistent with scriptural declarations concerning heaven and hell and the soul's departure from the body.
