Came here for exactly this, the post is proposing a solution while only understanding one half of the problem.

Toasts are a global UI feedback mechanism for non-blocking/fallible/undo-able actions. That does make them out-of-place by default, but at least consistently so.

A solution I'd accept is local-view-first with toasts-as-fallback when the view is dismissed. That said, loading indicators _might_ make users hesitant to dismiss a view.

The dismissal should communicate to the user in a way that indicates the process will continue without the view.
