Is it unfashionable to say that NodeJS got this right with > v7.6? It's always felt pretty straightforward to me but perhaps it just suits my mindset. It's only when I try to do this in other languages (e.g. Python or Ruby) that it starts to feel clunky.

I'm the first one to hate on JS, but the whole integrated event loop, with auto scheduled async tasks and Promise system that works both with callbacks or async is one of the easiest system for http calls I ever used.
