Thanks a lot Michael for the analysis.

I don't know anything about Emacs internals, but I have a healthy fear of threads and could understand that it might be a can of worms.

Maybe there are ideas that could be taken from JavaScript, which also has only a single thread. As I understand, any threading problem can be translated into event driven code. Additionally, browsers now support web workers which (in theory?) should avoid locks by not sharing context with the main thread:

I forwarded your analysis to the GitHub issue:
