In other words, it is some kind of primitive async queue, right?

I agree. I also think that non-main threads should not be disallowed to
trigger redisplay.
However,
(1) this redisplay should better be synchronous (first waiting for all
other threads to finish their redisplay) when using the existing
redisplay primitives.
(2) we may want to introduce asynchronous API to not block during
redisplay, when threads do not care about display-related call
returning a value. For example, there is no reason to wait until a
message if displayed for async thread reporting its progress. It
might be better to have something like `async-message' that will
submit a request to display when Emacs decides to. Of course, such
async API should not rely on thread-local context.
