I was thinking

safeHGetContents :: (NFData a) => Handle -> (String -> a) -> IO a

and/or

safeHGetContents :: (NFData a) => Handle -> (String -> IO a) -> IO a

and/or something more explicitly targeting multiple handles (which I think there must be a nice way to do, somehow!).

One possible path is to have a safeHGetContents, along with RULES in Control.DeepSeq to attempt to erase the double deepseq.

Is safeHGetContents the same as
