No.

It depends on how much of your business logic must be synchronous and how much it relies on asynchronous operations. It also depends on what you consider to be hellish.

async/await is still cleaner than even a single promise, so you might as well use it.

Agree with this. Async await is just a lot cleaner syntax. The problem with callback hell is making sense of flow and handling the error at every step.

Promises certainly help but you also see abuse of then callback hell where rather than chaining, someone would nest the thens.async await is also great for debugging.
