Unfortunately, like the "Birthdays" calendar, you can't unsubscribe or otherwise remove the "Tasks" calendar. The best you can hope to achieve is to not have any entries appear in your calendar (by de-selecting it).
The Tasks widget on the right is at least hide-able/removable. (Click the close button on the widget or minimize the whole panel.)

Click on the drop down arrow next to Reminders in your calendar list. There should be an option to switch back to Google Tasks.

A solution I've found is to bookmark 2 links:
One to open Google Tasks:
https://tasks.google.com/embed/?origin=https://calendar.google.com&fullWidth=1
However, everything turns white, so the following bookmarklet can be added to the bookmarks bar to fix it. (Create a new bookmark and use the following as URL, then click it just after Google Tasks ...

I recently set up the following Stylish script as a very hackish workaround for this:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.google.com/calendar") {
.calListChip[title='Tasks'] {
display: none;
}
#calcontent.eui-t .calListRow {
height: unset;
line-height: unset;
max-height: 19px;
}

Here is what I do:
reduce my remaining uncompleted task list as much as I can.
create a new task list with a very similar name
move the remaining uncompleted tasks to the new list
DELETE the old list. Google will warn you that the old list will be permanently deleted. Say yes. Done.

The short of it is go to Actions under Tasks then select Clear Completed Tasks. Unfortunately as Google states in the link up above this just hides them, but unless you select to view them again, they're out of sight. There is no bulk delete or delete upon completion setting. Only deleting 1 task at a ...

Install the android app Gtasks before uninstalling Astrid. This app will ask if you want to import astrid tasks. Answer Yes and you are done ! GTasks syncs with Google tasks and your calendar. Took only 5 minutes to setup.

Holding down the delete button for 10 minutes solved the issue

At this time the Google Apps (Calendar, Gmail, Keep, Now ) don't have either a user interfaces' command or API's class for the new reminders to convert a Google task to a Google reminder.
An alternative could be the use of a user script1 that use the Google Tasks API or Google Apps Script.
Notes:

Perhaps you could create a google account that you could share and create the Tasks under that?

I use a particular task list for packing for trips. It's gotten quite extensive over the years. The only way I've found that keeps me from unchecking every task in my list is that I've created a handful of primary tasks, each of those contain many sub-tasks. So when I check the primary task it'll mark all of the sub-tasks as complete. Conversely when you ...

I did not find any answer on the web so I felt free to explore. I saw that putting tasks as uncompleted and then marking them as completed UNCLEARS them.
I know it would be hard with a lot of tasks but didn't find another way. Best luck!

We are a Google Apps Reseller.
The two most successful tools we have seen our customers using are: shared Google Spreadsheets and Trello.
The spreadsheet might seem crude but it is very flexible in how you set it up, it can be sorted and comments can be inserted. This would be the quickest for you to start using right away. Depending on the complexity and ...

I did not do anything, yet today (8 months after I asked this question) I noticed that Tasks reappeared in my list of calendars. I cannot explain it.

When you expand "My Calendars" in the left-side bar, you should see "Tasks". Click on it to enable that calendar.
Also, go to Settings -> Calendar and see if Tasks is enabled.

Here's a short script I wrote that copies tasks with due dates to the calendar (which you can set to have reminders for)

If you want to display Tasks in Calender you have to enable it from the left panel under "My Calenders".
Once you click on it, a panel on right with Tasks will appear.

To mark all completed tasks as uncomplete, I wrote this little snippet in some spare time today, which you can run in the browser console (F12) of a modern browser, when the "completed tasks" list is open in Gmail. If it doesn't work, let me know, but it worked for me.
var checkboxes = document.getElementById('tasksiframe').contentWindow.document

The latest version of Google Calendar Android app shows all your reminders from Google Now and Keep as well.
(Google Support)
For your second question, you could create a checklist/tasklist on Keep and share it with your friends or family.

Figured this one out - hit the Cog when viewing your calendar and switch your view (temporarily) from "Compact" to "Cozy". An arrow will appear on the divider between your calendar and task list. Click that! Then you can switch back to "Compact".

The closest answer that I have is renaming an existing list.

You now have a web interface for Google Tasks on https://tasksboard.app/

Almost, but not quite. (At least, with Gmail and Google Calendar alone.)
While you're reading your message, open the "More" menu and choose "Add to Tasks".
This will add a task to your Google Tasks with the subject of your message as the text of the task and a link to the email message.
Click the arrow to go to the "more" menu for that item.
Then choose ...

Google replaced the Tasks calendar with Reminders. You can switch back by clicking the reminders drop down arrow and select "Switch to Tasks".

This doesn't seem possible. Further, Google Tasks has been mostly deprecated in favor of Reminders, so I doubt there will be any further development by Google to improve Tasks.

I found in the support forum for the service supplied by Alex another service which appears to be active in development at https://tasks-backup.appspot.com.
Sadly it still gave errors for me but may work for others.

You need to use a third-party service called Google Tasks Porter. I never used it, so I don't know how it works, but Cnet has a nice article that describes the procedure.
Point your browser to Google Tasks Porter.
The first time you use it, you need to give it permission to access your Google account, which takes several clicks. (If you use multiple ...
