Anything that stops the crash has to be an improvement.

I know nothing about how this all works, but my naive expectation was
that since emacs -nw works, emacsclient -t should too. But if that's
not possible, fine. If it's possible but difficult, just stopping the
crash and leaving the rest open as a wishlist is fine too.
