Yes. (I thought about adding it in a separate request;  but that would be
simpler to include it.)

Today, the asynchronous execution is attached to the result; the source
code itself is not locked and stays editable.

With the current implementation, trying your example, the second execution fails with:
    Error running timer: (user-error "Cannot modify an area being
    updated")

So, it's already OK I guess.

I should improve the behavior (to fail before launching the second
execution).  But, the current design should work in that case.

Got it.  The current design adds the popup on failure; I should make it
more flexible to allow to configure a popup on success too.

Yes. I'll fix it (and that one was in my TODO list :-))

But if the execution fails, I guess I'll need to provide some feedbacks
anyway, but I don't know yet how (asynchronous popups are not an option,
modifying the file neither).

Thanks for your review and questions,

Bruno
