I don't know if this is the case here, but async was also a dependency
for magit. It happen that it was only needed to ensure that the Emacs
session used to compile magit had not loaded a previous version of
magit, and so protecting us from havoc in macro expansion. But the way
we build elpa package protect us from such a problem. So I just dropped
the dependency, and change, and change very little in magit's upstream
source for this.

That said, emacs-async is an useful package on itself, and I didn't
check how far flx use async.
