It’s never worth it to use anything other than Python. It’s just reached a point where even very complex problems are easy to “fix” in Python then “learn” in another language. I believe in 15 years all major companies will use it exclusively for web development.

Interesting take! Although, writing client sided code is not really suited at all in Python due to the horrendous performance. That can be accepted when we're waiting for IO anyways behind a server, or when a new developer is learning to program, but apart from that, it's not really optimal at all.
I’ve found the performance to be good. If you ever see slow client side performance there’s never an excuse for that in any language. JavaScript community are just bad programmers who add bloat to things unnecessarily. Anyone who’s actually benchmarked Python in the browser with real applications knows it’s impossible to see any actual difference in performance.
