You could start your ephemeral container in the background and then connect to it through SSH when it's ready. At least that's what we do. Works fine, although sometimes there are connection issues which we simply solve by retrying a couple of times. We use this at least several hundred times a day and it works for us. We only have one LXC container per EC2 instance so we set the ip of the lxc-container to a fixed value.
