I’ve never seen this implemented well in a real-time setup. I’ve come to associate it with everything falling apart and otherwise being taped together in weird ways to function.

It sounds elegant, but I’m not convinced there’s a benefit to a model of abstractions of abstractions like this unless it’s done at the language level. In practice, I’ve only seen this produce a web of race conditions, performance issues, and system complexity. My experience is anecdotal.

I've seen it work well once, but others struggled to contribute to it because it was so complicated and it added little benefit to the usual busy loop approach. So I'm in the same boat as you.
