No, this I can be quite sure about. QEMU sends them as soon as they are
received in the SCSI layer. If they were ill-formed, QEMU would fail
them. If they got stuck, sooner or later you'd not be able to do I/O
anymore (there is a queue depth limit) and the guest would start getting
timeouts.
Also, certainly blktrace would have no effect on QEMU.
