Caller can be sure, that the data change will eventually be processed.
The process can get stuck for some time, but after manual intervention,
it is processed.

The advantage is you don't need to do error recovery, which is nearly
impossible in systems that does not implement distributed transactions.
Compensations do not need to be done, you just fire it and forget.

This approach is less error prone, and it can be used for all the data
changes. But for most of it - yes.
