no rush, at least not for me.

I don’t think we are done searching for way to make scripting fast while
playing well with asdf.  For example … maybe cl-launch should find a way
to cache what systems to load and route around asdf (what ever that means)
after the first run.

BUT:  ASDF is the "make" of Common Lisp.  It must be stable and solid.

I agree with the point your making, entirely.
