`block_on` seems like the right balance of code duplication and overhead, imo.

It is a somewhat strange compile time jumble of libraries but a compile time overhead isn't so bad.

This is my take, too. Write async and then use block_on. It's worked for us just fine, albeit a little annoying. We made macros to help clean things up.
