OSS Oban has a few limitations, which are automatically lifted in the Pro version:

Single-threaded asyncio execution - concurrent but not truly parallel, so CPU-bound jobs block the event loop.

This makes it not even worth trying. Celery's interface kind of sucks, but I'm used to it already, and I can get infinitely parallel expanding vertically and horizontally for as long as I can afford the resources.

I also don't particularly like ayncio, and if I'm using a job queue wouldn't expect to need it.

Edit: I looked into it a bit more, and it seems we can launch multiple worker nodes, which doesn't seem as bad as what I originally thought
