The more threading code I have seen, the more convinced I become that it should be avoided at all cost. The pitfalls are nonobvious and potentially incurring datacorruption. Rather, they should be behind understandable abstractions (like await/async and Task/Task<T>, but those have their own pitfalls) where applicable. Also, I can see value in an "unsafe" block (e.g. a "threading {}" keyword) where the writer of code communicates to the reader "inspect this with special threading awareness"
