IMO the big advantage of languages like Go in this space is that you can ship a binary to your users and that will Just Work™. Shipping a Python tool tends to be significantly more complex either for your users who will have to set up Python + dependencies, or for your build (e.g. the Python AWS CLI just ships an entire Python environment, which is a "solution" of sorts I guess, but it's not very easy or simple to do).

I don't think Go has to increase more friction in the dev workflow, but it probably does require a little bit (one-time) more effort to get it right.
