God, No this is not up to any particular server implementation
it is stated clearly in the draft text. The Server is specifically
forbidden to wait in lo_get and device_info/device_list actually
any resource that is recallable.

This is the STD exactly for those reasons you stated.

Because none of the other callbacks have the protection of the STD
that forbids the server of synchronous operations, so the client
have to.
