Another solution would be to move the pointer along with the scrolling
buffer (as done occasionally in cad software when moving the viewport),
so that the pointer doesn't move from the POV of the buffer.

Kind of odd for an editor though.

Would that happen for _any_ command or just for commands that already
move the point?

If that happens only with a command that already moves the point up or
down, such as next-line, I'd actually say that's OK and I would find
that expected.

It's definitely an edge scenario, but less unorthodox than moving the
pointer IMHO.

Fully open to any idea here.
This is just the first thing that came to mind.
