No, it can't.  It calls Lisp almost all the time.  The two main places
where that usually happens is JIT font-lock and mode-line display.

Maybe you are thinking about "emacs -Q" which is idle, but that's not
a very interesting use case, when multi-threading is being discussed.

I don't want to argue about your other arguments because I don't see a
point.
