It's convuluted, it's not structured concurrency (https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-g...), fundamentally despite being async/await a lot of networking code is based on callbacks anyway (see: asyncio.Protocol), and I've had a lot of trouble debugging code that spawn tasks because asyncio code has zero obligation to care about any of the tasks it spawns.

Yo. Two points here.

* You can absolutely stay within structured concurrency constraints using ASGI.

* The ASGI spec doesn’t have anything to do with asyncio. It’s purely an async/await interface - You can build against it just fine using other concurrency backends.
