How about if the front-end wants to provide a debugger console, so
that the user can also enter commands manually? I would have hoped
that we could still allow the user to use CLI commands in that console,
because MI commands output are somewhat difficult to read for a normal
human.

Basically, the front-end would take the user command in CLI format,
send it to the MI interpreter via this feature, and then get the
output back, extract it from the MI output, and then display it
on the console.

Is there another way of doing this?
