If someone wants to make things more robust to empty key sets that would be welcome. This shouldn't require deep Dask experience to solve.

Dask clients create their own event loop if invoked normally (most users don't understand async, so we do some magic here). You're creating a client in a synchronous way and...

There's the /tasks page which has a longer history
