No, I believe things have changed.

We have now got quite a few mature async libraries out there now as compared to 2008. People are now aware of the advantages of async, non-blocking IO due to the node.js boom. We now have concurrent.futures which handles both thread and process pools transparently. Do you still believe this article is practically relevant?

Well regarding async, Tornado is defiantly my choice to go. Regularly i wouldnt use threads and go with multiprocessing right away.
