I have spent more time on that LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING=1 issue.
Tracing through the code, it does appear that eventually LWIP does end
up using FreeRTOS mutexes.

It breaks something else however, and I can't easily trace it because
DHCP fails to work, and one can't really trace that because taking a
breakpoint causes timeouts etc. Also that code is too convoluted for
me to understand :)

I have been trying to find advice around the place and this post
summarises my latest findings on this
