Yeah, absolutely. I am not a fan of mixing synchronous and asynchronous code, but the design of asyncio makes it very easy to do. I think that most people struggling with the concept don't realize that asyncio is inherently blocking when its being used (well, with the caveat of run_in_executor, but that's best left ignored for the purposes here)
