"not a screaming cpu"

On the one hand TS-DOS can timeout on delays. I think the glug-glug
performance of Wifi and Bluetooth makes it not work.
On the other hand, it's possible and Steve is concerned that a fast sender
could overrun the Model 100's receive buffer when responding to . TPDD
packets are about 128 bytes maximum, while the Model 100's receive buffer
is 64-bytes.
Unrelated, TS-DOS likes to give up because of DSR deasserted, another
complicating factor.

Since TPDD emulators have been functional for decades on hardware as old as
TRS-80 desktop PCs, so who knows. As to Powermac I'd be more concerned the
emulator causing buffering delays.

I wonder if TEENY uses the receive queue or it does direct I/O? That's
always a good diagnostic tool. You cannot trip up its timeouts, because it
doesn't implement any. So if TEENY has problems I think it would mean
buffer overrun on receive.
