chore(n/a): e2e sync takes a long time because of unnecessary waits

Description

This started off as a bug fix and then exploded.
I branched of the bug fix and keeping this open to continue later, in a e2e focused PR.

Code review checklist

• Readable: Concise, well named, follows the style guide, documented if necessary.
• Documented: Configuration and user documentation on cht-docs
• Tested: Unit and/or e2e where appropriate
• Internationalised: All user facing text
• Backwards compatible: Works with existing data and configuration or includes a migration. Any breaking changes documented in the release notes.

Hi @latin-panda and @kapelo .
I have this small PR that fixes a bug in the tasks component. I'd appreciate a review and QA assist.

For the QA assist, you will probably need to use a low performance device or tune your browser CPU performance throttling way up. I set it to 20x slowdown to consistently replicate the issue.

Appreciate it!

Ok, it seems like one e2e test is consistently failing. I'll re-request the reviews when I've fixed it.
