Yes.

Not only with time-consuming processes, but for processes that are
triggered by a program rather than by the user directly.

Async shell commands in Org are always triggered directly by the user
when he opens a shell link -- so allowing async processes is just a
small convenience and should happen not very often, async is to big 
of a hammer for this.

But I certainly hope John's proof of concept will made his way, 
either in Emacs or in Emacs maintainers imagination!
