I hadn't actually even thought this far. My main concern was that the
DNS lookups are synchronous without a separate library.

No, I mean some passdbs in Dovecot are already set with blocking=TRUE
flag, in which case Dovecot uses separate "dovecot-auth -w" processes to
handle them.
But if you're looking up hosts only from files, or if you assume that
your DNS lookups are really fast always, you can just ignore this.
