The async api with bells and whistles is supposed to be indexedDB.
It would have been nicer to have an async mode for localStorage, but even then I don't think it covers it. I really worry that developers are starting to try and build serious apps on it and it just won't work..

I hope it won't, because I only save stuff that changes. I can compress biggest data, if it becomes a problem, to get more space, but I don't think I'll have to.
Anyway - it's not a problem of API, but of constraints of browser implementations. There's nothing preventing browsers from implementing configuration option that allows users to assign available space in localStorage to domains.
