For sessions, wouldn't running in a subprocess prevent the user from
directly interacting with the REPL outside of Org? If so, that's a
problem. Org-babel sessions need to play nicely with inferior Python,
inferior ESS, and other interactive comint modes.

I suggest to keep these patches on a public branch somewhere, see:
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#patches

  "When discussing important changes, it is sometimes not so useful to
  send long and/or numerous patches.
  
  In this case, you can maintain your changes on a public branch of a
  public clone of Org and send a link to the diff between your changes
  and the latest Org commit that sits in your clone."

I tried running your example on emacs29 using

  emacs -q -L  /path/to/org-mode/lisp my-async-tests.org

but it fails with the error below. Also "make" gives a bunch of
compilation warnings (which I've put at the bottom).

> +You need to load:

This raises the following error in *Org-Babel Error Output*

  void-variable
  (org-elib-async-process)
  [ Babel evaluation exited with code 127 ]

All the subsequent blocks don't work because of that, for example:

> +A simple execution:
> +    #+begin_src bash
> +      date
> +    #+end_src

yields:

  org-babel-execute-src-block: No org-babel-execute function for bash: my-shell-babel-schedule!

Finally here are the warnings when running "make":
