People keep re-inventing the "analog FPGA" but none seem to have been

 More briefly, asynchronous mixed-signal design can be annoying as you've probably experienced. Have to even more carefully consider timings and race conditions, the lull between clock edges can't save you.

I *like* to use asynchronous state machines in my designs from
time to time. It's not really so different from synchronous
design, and it's a natural solution in many situations. It's
just that setup and hold times apply to more inputs than just
a clock.
