A better way of achieving this is looking at the collection of threads

There are a million ways to accomplish safe thread usage without

Yes, but the alternatives above are only safe if you only use atomic
operations (which could be quite slow in case of an array of booleans
due to the atomic reservation granularity), or if you add proper
memory barriers everywhere.
