What bothers me more is that it sounds like you trigger redisplay from
a non-main thread (because 'message' triggers a special type of
redisplay).  Moreover, what happens if the main thread is in the
middle of prompting the user by a command that runs in the main
thread?

I suggest to test these situations and see what happens and whether
something (perhaps some infrastructure) is needed to DTRT in those
cases.

P.S. I'm glad to finally see a major Emacs package going threaded.
