Hmm, seems no one's interested, and the most recent discussion that I can find on this topic goes back to 2015:

There may have been little motivation to update buffers in the background, but with the async channel APIs in place, I think we need such functionality now. All the current solutions (that I'm aware of) are basically dirty hacks.
IIRC, the Python API can update any existing buffer, not just the current one. So why can't we have this nice ability in Vimscript? Are there any special reasons?
