So you want a mechanism to control when the process-filter is run,
basically (since AFAIK the moment when we consume (at the C/OS level)
our input is the same as the moment we run the process filter).

Usually this is done implicitly as a side-effect of Emacs being busy,
but IIUC you want to temporarily suspend processing your process's input
even tho Emacs is not busy?

Can you give a concrete scenario you have seen, so we can better
understand what could be done?
