Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.
We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.
Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.
Thanks!

Now that we use the render cache for a lot more things, I don't think locking at that level would be a good idea - the lock acquire overhead is non zero, most pages have several render cacheable items on them, and the cardinality of most cached items is quite high.
There are individual cases like header or footer menus that appear on every page, it might be possible to lock these, but this could be implemented at the level of individual block plugins (e.g. we could implement a lock in system menu block rendering).
📌 Use revolt to prewarm caches during lock waits Active might entail adding locking to more low level caches though - theme registry, library discovery etc. that can be pre-warmed.
