And the jQuery Ajax methods are super-handy. POST with the fetch API is long-winded; while the jQuery promise-handling sucks, it was enough to make me use $.post() in the current project.

You don't need to use that API. Deferred is compatible with Promise, you can just simply `await $.post()` etc.

See last section of http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.Deferred/
