Yes, `read-event' does the outputting.  I've now fixed this in Emacs 29,
but I was unsure whether to add a new parameter, or extend the meaning
of the echo-keystrokes variable, so I did the latter -- nil (an
undocumented value) will now be even less updating than before.  I think
it kinda makes sense, but could see redoing this with an extra
parameter, too, if this leads to any issues.
