TypeError: Task is not iterable. If your task returns multiple results, pass `nout` to the task decorator/constructor, or provide a `Tuple` return-type annotation to your task.

nout is the right approach here. But it doesn't work with mapped tasks, check this open issue

Is the work around to just bundle your return into an object and return that? Or is there a nicer way of doing things?
Hmm.. this works, but I guess that extra 
zip_task
task might be nicer.

Yeah you need to bundle it as a list or dict. A 
zip_task
is not quite the right concept. The 
double_and_triple
task returns a 
Tuple
so mapping returns a 
List[Tuple]
. So if you map over 10 items, you get 10 Tuples. 
x, y = something
in Python means that iterable has 2 items. It assumed the output type is 
Tuple[List]
