> while keeping it somewhat WSGI-compatible

There's the problem. WSGI is fundamentally flawed too - it could also be using generators for a two-way communication channel instead of stringly typed callbacks.

In a world where Python has optional static type hints, it would be nice to have concrete objects passed too.

Can you expand on the stringly typed callbacks? Where are they required? Are you referring to string keys in a callback dictionary, in which case stringly-typed seems a bit of an odd choice of words.
Calling the receive async function gets you a dictionary with a string type key, which defines the layout of the dictionary. It's not nice.
