Back in the day, using a slow modem or teletype, discard (flush output) was super important, but several years back when I hooked up an actual Wyse dumb terminal to a Linux box I was dismayed to discover that it's actually not implemented in Linux.

Nice. Reminds me of using the "stty -a" and "stty <some_param>" commands many times on Unix terminals, back in the day, for some of those settings you list, also for things like CR/LF translation (ocrnl, onlcr, ...), raw, sane, ...
