Yes. To make this more concrete: If your non-async function uses a parameter whose type is a dyn trait or a generic bounded by a trait, it can call the methods of that trait and thus potentially call different implementations of that trait.

Currently, none of those trait implementations can be async because that would change the function signature.

So the only option you have in a trait implementation that needs to call a library that happens to use async apis internallt, is to "block_on" the async. Unfortunately iirc blocking on an async like that is executor specific and your impl must pick a concrete async executor which may be different from the one used elsewhere in the program.
