Well, what do you expect? These are verboten for any kind of reliable embedded system.

On the contrary Micropython is even used in medical devices.

I've used it extensively and it is great. With ESP32 peripherals you can even get extremely tight timings depending on what specifically you need. And of course any specific performance critical code can be written in C and everything else can be micropython.

It's great, definitely worth exploring.

Moreover you can even work with the ULP co-processor from micropython using assembly directly from micropython code. https://github.com/micropython/micropython-esp32-ulp
Trezor hardware crypto wallet is also running on micropython
