Different trade offs, both are fine.

The downside of a small stdlib is the proliferation of options, and you suddenly discover(ed?, it's been a minute) that your async package written for Tokio won't work on async-std and so forth.

This has often been the case in Go too - until `log/slog` existed, lots of people chose a structured logger and made it part of their API, forcing it on everyone else.
