Thank you for pointing out `blink-cursor-mode` I am aware of it and tested it. When Emacs is started with `emacsclient --tty` from a virtual terminal or a terminal emulator `blink-cursor-mode` does not seem to do anything. When I use a graphical Emacs `blink-cursor-mode` does control the cursor blinking.
