Tramp uses Emacs' progress-reporter. However, this is based on timers,
which are fired only at dedicated point, for example during
accept-process-output. If there's no process output, no timer call, no
progress report.

(IIRC, there were problems with Tramp's progress reporter, which have
been fixed beginning of this year in the master branch)

Best regards, Michael.
