In modern C# with MVC/WebAPI it feels wrong to me to NOT use async/await/Task (the .Net version of Futures and Promises). For fairly little change in coding style you can get some big performance wins on IO code.

Unless you're writing pretty perf intensive code, part of me doubts you're going to see huge wins on something like async/await.
