-1. I think the overhead of an additional worker is disproportional here. And
there's simplicity benefits in having a predictable cleanup interlock as well.
I think particularly for the snapshot stuff it'd be better to optimize away
unnecessary snapshot files, rather than making the cleanup more asynchronous.
