I think we already do, see this part of update_frame_1:

  /* Now update the rest of the lines.  */
  for (i = 0; i < desired_matrix->nrows - 1 && (force_p || !input_pending); i++)
    {
      if (MATRIX_ROW_ENABLED_P (desired_matrix, i))
        {
          if (FRAME_TERMCAP_P (f))
            {
              /* Flush out every so many lines.
                 Also flush out if likely to have more than 1k buffered
                 otherwise.   I'm told that some telnet connections get
                 really screwed by more than 1k output at once.  */
              FILE *display_output = FRAME_TTY (f)->output;
              if (display_output)
                {
                  ptrdiff_t outq = __fpending (display_output);
                  if (outq > 900
                      || (outq > 20 && ((i - 1) % preempt_count == 0)))
                    fflush (display_output);
                }
            }
