Not true. While it's harder, you can stack shift. I've done Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, and JavaScript/React and treated them as interchangeable. I might be rejected in some resume screens here and there but once talking I make it clear I'm comfortable with the target tech stack and it has never been an issue.

"Once talking" is the problem. You have to get your resume picked out of the pile so you get to talk to a real person.
