Regarding green threads: Rust originally started with them, but there were many issues. Graydon (the original author) has "grudgingly accepted" that async/await might work better for a language like Rust[1] in the end.
In any case, I think green threads and async/await are completely orthogonal to data race safety. You can have data race safety with green threeads (Rust was trying to have data-race safety even in its early green-thread era, as far as I know), and you can also fail to have data race-safety with async/await (C# might have fewer data-race safety footguns than Go but it's still generally unsafe).
