I would argue that in a sufficiently large organization you're better off using plain Java or perhaps Kotlin. The latter hits the sweet spot between 'expressive' and 'unreadable' whereas Scala can miss the mark.

I'm sure if you are very disciplined when writing Scala then this will not happen, etc etc. But the fact that people need to decide upfront which parts of Scala to use and which ones to avoid seem like red flags to me (and in fact were red flags, in my experience).
