Can we teach Node Js without callbacks?

After another semester teaching Web Development, the following question arises to my mind: can we teach Node Js without callbacks? Considering that we cannot avoid Promises and async/await, should we continually introduce callbacks in the first place? Notice that:

1. Most Node APIs already supports Promises, e.g. file system module fs
2. It is increasingly difficult to find an HTTP client Node module that provides callback-based API. For instance, one of those most used modules, i.e. request (with 23M downloads/week) announced that is fully deprecated in February of 2020.

Of course, we can always use the standard http module of Node, yet its API is far from being friendly.

Thus, this leads me to think that we could remove callbacks from the curricular plan of the Web Development course. Can we?

Yet, some of the state-of-the-art frameworks for web development in the Javascript ecosystem are still based on callbacks, namely: 1) express, 2) passport. Of course there are a couple of wrapper alternatives that provide a promise-based abstraction layer over these modules. But none of those approaches was adopted as a best practice over the plain use of express or passport.

So, now regarding these latter points I will tend to consider that we should also keep callbacks-based calling convention in the curricular plan of Web Development course. Or not?
