I feel tha I'm missing something obvious. Isn't this doc reinventing the wheel in terms of what very basic task queue systems do? It describes task queues and task prioritization, and how it supports tasks that cache user data. What am I missing?

Yes, what is described in the blog post is (by now) a fairly established way to deal with task queues at scale (if you're familiar with those kinds of systems, but not everyone is).
