That isn't really a "What if I" question, that's a "Why do you think
you" question.
deferToThread is best used for taking uncontrollably blocking APIs
(preferably C APIs that release GIL) and getting a Deferred back. I
personally can not think of a single reason why you would ever take a
Deferred returning API and shuffle it off to a thread.
