99% of Django apps are CRUD apps with zero need for this. It's easy to get sucked into new-hammer-ism where you have a new hammer and start seeing nails where there aren't any.

The 1% where this is needed does exist, but I suspect that there are far more people using the new async features than actually have need for them. And if you don't need them, you're introducing a lot of complexity, without mature tooling around it to reduce that complexity.

Probably 5 years from now there will be mature tooling around this stuff that lowers the complexity so that it is a good tradeoff for average websites. But for now, I don't need to be an early adopter.
