Those are Elm 0.16 effects are something totally different. There is no reason why tick tasks couldn't be batched in their execution.
There are certainly things that Elm 0.17 and 0.18 are doing in effects managers that aren't feasible with tasks right now because tasks are in a sense too primitive, but basically what effects managers are doing is serving as a level of indirection to route commands to other Elm code to decide how to process them. I could imagine a similar notion of effects manager tasks that get handed to the appropriate effects manager for eventual fulfillment. Or instead of wrapping tasks inside of commands using Task.perform, wrap the effects manager "command" construct inside of a task and have execution of the task feed the underlying "command" to the effects manager.
