This is a good point and makes me wonder whether e.g. Matrix should incorporate something like a “prefers async” field that could be used by clients to treat messages more like mail.

This is an excellent idea - on a per-conversation granularity at least you could declare whether the intent of the conversation is sync or async, distinguishing IM from mail or forums.
