Having written decades of async code without rust (and still doing so in c++), I don't understand your point. It is really hard to write safe highly performant asynchronous code. Rust makes it safe, but without the additional "syntax sugar" it makes it very unergonomic. The developer velocity I can achieve with async rust is unbelievable compared to what I had to do previously.
I think your problem may be with tokio, not async. io_uring and async are not incompatible.

I have seen a glimpse of that in my paid work but I have to say it takes quite a while and a lot of nerves expended to get to that point. It's one of these things where you climb a mountain peak and can now see everything clearly but before that it's all a mess, mists and shadowy figures.
