Right, I agree. I'd go even further and say that async/await is a great fit for a modern asynchronous I/O stack (not read()/write()). Especially with io_uring using polled I/O (the worker thread is in the kernel, all the async runtime has to do is check for completion periodically), or with SPDK if you spin up your own I/O worker thread(s) like @benlwalker explained elsewhere in the thread.
