I recommend reading both, though; they explain concepts using different examples, and sometimes one is a better match for the reader's mental model than the other. (Or, mental models sometimes change, too.)
I don’t think JS engines would have implemented async generators unless it offered some benefit that could not be achieved by using either async functions or generators alone. (Speculating, but still.)

The original article was later refined into the second section of this chapter.
