In short, either you make all your processors coroutineable and resumable - which is a ton of work.

A chain of symmetric coroutines already model a dataflow

You don't even need symmetric coroutines; asymmetric coroutines model that just fine -- see: https://github.com/boostorg/coroutine/blob/master/example/cpp03/asymmetric/c... A coroutine implementation of pipelines becomes syntactic sugar, a facile way to construct a chain that you can already build (admittedly somewhat verbosely).
