That would turn communicating between threads into communicating between VMs, which is a disastrous change in itself.

It would. On the other hand multiprocessing with explicitly shared memory could be a fast (but potentially painful) workaround.

That could make sense for processes, which would also get around the exception unwind lock, but I don't know how that would work with every thread moved into a separate VM.

Of course. Using VMs here would very deep into overengineering territory.

how do you know the threads need to communicate with each other?
