} This sounds very promising, because you then could 'parallelize'

That much you can do already.
TRAPCHLD() {
while (( ${#jobstates} < MAXPARALLEL ))
do the background task &
done
}
(Of course you need some sort of other loop-ending condition, but you
get the idea.)
You don't really even need the trap for this, your original loop will
work fine as long as you examine ${(k)jobstates} as the list of PIDs
instead of trying to maintain your own array.
