Probably the most frustrating thing for me is when I’m connected to another terminal via ssh and am typing in a command (without using autocomplete). When I am on a poor internet connection the latency between rendering each keystroke makes me want to throw my computer out the window.

It would be cool if the local terminal could render text at the speed of typing and while lazily sending that back to the other machine.

mosh[1] provides the buffering you're looking for and some other useful features, at the cost of extra complexity that could lead to other issues (e.g. no scrollback unless you use tmux as well).
