Async doesn't make your code faster, though there are cases where it lets you handle more requests with a single server (especially if you have code that is async). But moreover, if you have libraries that use async code, it's really not ideal if the thing that runs those libraries isn't async. You don't have to like or want it, but it's there for the folks who want or need it.
