I see. Maybe you could have something like

Sure, but I suspect it'll take until the worst is over before it
manages to load and execute that "echo w".
Here is a big run of sysrq-triggering, all while I was uncompressing a
big rar file causing the whole system to be utterly unusable.
NB: Even with realtime I/O-priority the sysrq couldn't be triggered
between 12:41:54 and 12:42:49, as you can see from the dmesg-3.txt file.
$ sudo ionice -c 1 su
# ionice
realtime: prio 4
# while true; do sleep 10; echo w >/proc/sysrq-trigger; done
^C
# tail -n +1700 /var/log/syslog >dmesg-3.txt
