Very likely. It is just that the ambiguous wording with the conclusion
didn't give me the confidence of the quality of implementation.

Yes, many library features C++20 brought are nice gems. :)

Tests for async things are usually not that good/exhaustive even
for normal code that doesn't deal with experimental compiler
features.

If we go for coroutines, I'd just advise a slower and well-planned
adoption then - use it in a smaller, but often used part, and then
go from there. (I hate advocating slow adoption of something this
cool, but... :) )

Cheers,
Ivan
