I've come up with what I think is a good idea of what to do when the user presses the enter key multiple times in fish. How about flashing the screen? The user sees that the shell is alive without wasting screen space.
I'd prefer to avoid a visual effect like flashing, but my main response is: scrolling on enter is not unconditionally considered wasteful at all times by all users.
It's sometimes useful for scrolling output upwards, for which fish itself has no simple alternative (even if as you've previously responded a windowing system / terminal emulator may).
Testing "shell alive" does have simple non-scrolling alternatives as Philip's pointed out in another reply.
