This thread on tramp-devel has some information that might help point 
you in the right direction: 
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tramp-devel/2021-04/msg00034.html>. 
Michael Albinus had been working on a thread-safe Tramp that would 
resolve this, but it stalled.

In particular, one of the blockers to fixing this would be figuring out 
a way for code in an Emacs thread to prompt the user (see bug#25214). 
Normally, I don't think prompting the user should happen with Tramp + 
Eglot, but it's always possible (e.g. if you need to re-enter your 
password), and it looks like things fail pretty hard with the 
thread-safe Tramp if that happens.
