The reason to support await_me_maybe is in case a hook wants to execute a SQL query as part of configuring the Jinja template loader.

That's exactly what datasette-edit-templates needs to do, though it's currently achieving that in a startup() hook instead: https://github.com/simonw/datasette-edit-templates/blob/087f6a6cabc20020f2b0524f11aa3a7836320848/datasette_edit_templates/init.py#L32-L48

```python @hookimpl def startup(datasette): datasette._edit_templates = {}

async def inner():
    db = get_database(datasette)
    # Does the table exist?
    if not await db.table_exists(TABLE):
        for sql in CREATE_TABLE:
            await db.execute_write(sql, block=True)
    else:
        # Load all templates from that table
        rows = await db.execute("select template, body FROM {}".format(TABLE))
        for name, content in rows:
            datasette._edit_templates[name] = content

return inner

```
