We use async/polling for our "long" running tasks (1-4 hrs) which are mainly postgres or oracle database restores. Not sure about tasks that take days, you may want to look into the "fire and forget" mode by setting poll=0. Just make sure to set async high enough to allow tasks to run that long. Ansible seems to do a really good job of ensuring those long running tasks keep running.
