Interesting. I found that TameJS or Iced CoffeeScript mostly solved the async terribleness problem in node, but you basically are using a non-standard toolchain at that point, and setting that up for a whole team is sort of absurd. Also, I'm not fully convinced that node is worth the code complexity that all of these solutions bring with them when go or scala can give you better performance with much cleaner code.
