Overall I've been extremely unimpressed with Python's async story. They've spent a decade baking into the core of the language and the result is that it's no better than just using gevent or twisted or any of those other "old school" frameworks. Except now everyone is forced to support it because there are colored functions everywhere and you have to write library code that has to deal with all the myriad ways your stuff can be used depending on if you're in an event loop or not. It's baffling.
Async/await at the language level is a total scam. Give me Nginx+Lua and let me just write my regular procedural code and the underlying runtime will handle yielding/resuming for me.
