No, I think it returns immediately, period. As I wrote, when Emacs
establishes the input queue, it's already way past the daemon
initialization.

The latter is not invasive, it simply cannot be done without losing
some very valuable features. So it's out of the question.
Back to the event-based method: is using a named event with a fixed
name workable? That is, is a situation imaginable where we would need
more than one event at the same time on the same system?
If a single event is enough, I think a named event with a name
specific to Emacs (but not a GUID) is a better alternative.
Otherwise, we will have to pass the handle via the command line; using
the environment is not an idea I like, because it means complications:
possible conflict with other variables, possible overflow of the 32K
limit on environment variables, possible conflicts in nested
invocations, etc.
