As far as I can see, the last discussion about that on the list occurred in April 2018 (starting with message https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2018-04/msg00235.html). My understanding then was that there was a significant wish from prominent Org developers and/or users to preserve inline tasks in some form, with a decent implementation. So, if I am not sure what "advice" you have in mind, I certainly do observe that my hope of some near future progress has not been fulfilled so far :-) I wouldn't mind using drawers instead, though, hence avoiding all the problems tied to current inline tasks, but can I? You said at that time that my use of inline tasks was appropriate whereas drawers would not be. You also said that you had "already moved to using drawers for a large number of [your] inline task use cases, the ones that weren't really tasks!". Is this consistent with your "almost completely" above? This leads me to the question of what precisely _defines_ a "task"; what is important to me is that such inline "stuff" has an equivalent of the TODO keyword, and an equivalent of tags for searching, both being integrated transparently with regular TODOs and tags. If you (or someone else) can show me how to perform this, I'll start the switch immediately!
