koa-router was owned by @alexmingoia and not by @koajs. Still it is a central piece of the koa framework that compromises practically every koa setup. The only alternative I have found is this:

https://github.com/koajs/trie-router

The transition from express to koa has been slow, and this doesn't help. It will undermine the confidence on the koa framework.

Now that you can trivially use async functions as express handlers, what are the major benefits of transitioning to Koa?

None to be honest. I migrated my projects back to express. Most of the packages for koa are either unmaintained or not very active.

I regularly use async functions as handlers in Express, but I always include a try ... catch block inside each one. What's the trivial way to use them?

Turn-key ready http2 which is significantly faster.
