Do you know of any applications that require this?  For many purposes,
using timers etc. seems to work fairly well already.

The main reason I can see for wanting threading is to allow users to
continue using Emacs in one window while waiting for another window
that's doing something (e.g. Gnus updating over a dialup).  However
that level of functionality is hard to implement.
