> For other things, async task (or green thread, whatevs) per connection is a very nice model that you can't do with thread per connection
I don’t think I ever seem this patterns, What I’ve seen is either a thread pool for tasks (what essentially async is), or dedicated threads for each parts of the processing (a thread for the UI, and a thread for some background services like playing music).

The async tasks will probably run on a thread pool (e.g. in tokio).
