No, that's too complicated. This should be handled automatically.

Emacs could retain the old output, concatenating the new output into it.
We do something similar for, e.g., the output of M-x byte-compile-file
in the *Compile-Log* buffer. This should just be a matter of replacing
the `erase-buffer' call in `shell-command'.
