* is it still unsafe to use the same handle in more than 1 thread?
This is a documented fact and is repeated fairly frequently: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/threadsafe.html

Not exactly. You can cancel it in several different callbacks in addition to the progress one.
If you want to avoid the up to a full second delay this introduces, I'd recommend switching to the multi interface and curl_multi_poll() with curl_multi_wakeup() from the second thread.
