Yes.

That's my concern as well.

We still don't need irq_work, tho.
If we can do
printk()->console_unlock()->up()->try_to_wake_up()
then we can also do
printk() -> try_to_wake_up()
It's LOGLEVEL_SCHED which tells us if we can try_to_wake_up()
or cannot.

Hard to imagine how many printk()-s we will have to ratelimit.
To imagine NET maintainers being OK with this is even harder.
