I disagree that Lua isn’t a good language. As a general purpose language, it is better than Vimscript, which sort of expanded into a general purpose language by fits and starts, and often not very cleanly.

Vimscript9 fixes some of this, but it is still focused on being a special purpose language (scripting vim) far more than being a general purpose language.

I agree with you that the neovim / Lua bridge is substandard and poorly documented, and way too magic. There’s too much distance between Lua and the vim model that isn’t well bridged by the API that has been written.

Certain things are better for neovim with Lua, because you can (in theory) take advantage of all that Lua has via luarocks. But that bridge back to the editor is still ugly, and I don’t like it.
