This feels backward to me. In Ada, tasks schedule themselves, so it seems more
natural for the task to wait until there's work to do and then do it than for
the work to look for an available task.
I'd suggest you replace your task pool with an instance of PragmARC.Job_Pools.
The PragmAda Reusable Components are available from
