Is there an analog of the "dummy async engine" for the OpenSSL-3.0 Provider?

There are two ways to design a system. One is to make is so simple there are obviously no deficiencies.
The other is to make it so complex there are no obvious deficiencies.

    You can look at the dummy async engine which wraps the standard RSA 
    functions inside an engine (as well as various other crypto primitives). 
    You can see it here:
