Please - save the hyperbole. There are many of us out here who couldn’t care less whether or not async-Django even exists, and I know a number of people who do care - but their projects are such that they don’t need to. (Their issues don’t warrant it.)
I’ve been hearing any number of these “predictions of doom” over the past 10 years on a variety of subjects, where “Django needs to do ‘X’ to survive.” And yet, Django continues to move along well despite doing virtually none of them.
Yes, there are situations that are improved by it. But until someone can demonstrate that there is a real global value to this change, I don’t buy it.

If Instagram can effectively run on sync-Django, I think the universe of people needing to go full async is probably smaller than you think.
