Yes.  xenstored will do the needed buffering.

I think in principle there is a risk here that the transaction might
run for a long time, if the output from xenstore-ls goes to something
that blocks (eg a pager) and can't be written all at once.

But if this is a problem it is a problem afflicting xenstored, not
xenstore-ls.
