I don't see much problem here: just start Emacs with something like
"emacs <file> --eval (server-mode 1)".

I consider `server-start' as a left over from the past.

One way is to not wait: let this Emacs server handle the request
immediately, without going through emacsclient/server.  The server is only
started as a convenience for subsequent uses of emacsclient.

> Will you pass to Emacs the server-name?

We should, yes.
