A more complicated language needs more skills and more skills mean you are inexperienced in at least some of those skills and inexperience causes dumpster fire codebases.

When I started software development I had "hammer and nail syndrome" for absolutely everything. I figured out something new and then used it everywhere. Experimenting in this way is necessary but you absolutely want to avoid it in a production codebase. Over time you have run out of hammers and nails to play around with. You've developed the ability to judge where and when a specific hammer is most effective and when it shouldn't be used at all. Scala offers you a wide variety of hammers and nails. You'll have to experiment a lot.
