That looks more like coupling the state with the UI. You could try refactoring your code in an MVC/MVVM style like react such that the state isn't being modified during a UI draw. That sort of out-of-sync issue can happen even with retained mode UIs. I wouldn't say it's fundamental to the paradigm that you intersperse your business logic into your UI. Granted at large scales basically any UI framework falls apart.

That's how normally you write "imgui" style of app - that's the whole idea - you on purposes couple state+behavior+ui in one piece - e.g. if(checkEvent()) drawSomething(); else drawSomethingElse();
