Possible counterexample: we use explicit and implicit TLS quite a bit in (ASP.NET) server-side code; IIS has a thread-per-request model with a long-running process. I imagine multiplexing FastCGI apps might do something similar. Isolation per request-being-handled is a very natural thing to want in that context, and in idiomatic Rust that would presumably apply to a family of tasks rather than a single one. I'm not sure what your criteria are for "doesn't work". I suspect it works better than everyone rolling their own TLS implementation on top of process-wide global state.
