I can completely understand your worries and I agree that it is rather inconvenient, esp. since Lwt does not have a great introduction to start with. The upside is that with the hopefully soon upcoming algebraic effects that are supposed to appear in OCaml sooner or later, Lwt and Async might end up being obsoleted or subsumed into a compatible set of Async primitives.
