After using python for data science for 3 years (since founding the current startup), I mostly switched to Julia about 4 months ago. So far the only Python libraries I've really missed are boto3 and sqlalchemy for sql generation – both of which can easily be called in Julia using PyCall.

I think people often underestimate just how much faster Julia is than numpy, I've consistently seen performance improvements on the order of 10x-30x when porting code.
