async-http-client v2 is not maintained and has security vulnerabilities
async-http-client v3 lacks reactive-streams integration (see AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client#1925), hence the backends would either be significantly less useful, or much harder to implement; good alternatives (http-client, ok-http, armeria) exist
Closes #2372
