What this PR does:

I find it unsettling that we need to acquire a mutex (a concurrency primitive) to send data to a channel (another concurrency primitive).

I think this achieves the same effect (we can stop the worker goroutines in a safe way) without having to mix them and leaving the main code path clear (just try to send a job, or run a new goroutine).

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

This is a follow up on #607

Thanks for the refresher on channel selects 😄

I would've done it like this: https://go.dev/tour/concurrency/5 (pushing values to a "close" channel), wouldn't have expected the way you did it to work (closing the "close" channel rather than pushing to it)

If we push, we need to wait until all workloads finish, and that's not the contract of the method right now.
