All of this is very true! But it's has to stack up against the large amount of experience with Python, both personally and in the industry. I have had to make decisions on project languages with an eye towards the abilities not just of myself, but of other people on my team. Fortunately, someone who knows Rust recently transferred onto my team, so we may do a project in Rust soon.
True, Python has a very big userbase and a lot of cool libraries and is nice to quickly hack something together.
Though the title of the post is
So TMU I want to predict the future in a way that it positively affects me, and find a language that fulfills this role best (throughout the stack, so that I'm not limited). And honestly I wouldn't want to touch Python with a long stick, if the project is moderately complex (and isn't easily off-loadable to native libraries that Python builds upon) and say > 5000 LOC, the super dynamic nature of python is a curse in this regard.
