I've tried several approaches, none of them did satisfy me
completely. So I have introduced a new user option
tramp-pipe-stty-settings, which you can use for different stty
settings. See appended patch. Let-binding this to "-icanon min 0 time 1"
in magit-start-process has at least solved the problem as shown here in
this bug report. I'm not very happy with this, but it is the best I
could do now. Could you please check?

We have already ssh multiplexing. If you like to avoid pty's at all, you
might try to use direct async processes:
