Move from tornado.gen to native coroutines ?

See original GitHub issue

tornado docs for tornado.gen say:

The “decorator and generator” approach in this module is a precursor to native coroutines (using async def and await) which were introduced in Python 3.5. Applications that do not require compatibility with older versions of Python should use native coroutines instead

With the dropping of support for python<3.5, are we going to move to native coroutines and asyncio?

We already upgraded the code base in https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/tree/bryanv/async. The problem currently is with updating tests, as described in https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/9098#issuecomment-513501421. Help with that would be very welcome.
