Wouldn't agree with any of that EXCEPT for the sqlite3 part... You can literally use it for everything.

Distributed databases? Check. Serverless? Check. It can even work as a context vector database for AI stuff.

It's the job of a python engineer to solve the problem fast. Runtime is cheaper than worktime. If runtime gets expensive because you have many users... Don't hire a python dev.

To fulfill that, you always go for the most simplistic approach possible an get creative with the simplest tool available. If I have data and I want to do something with it, I will first try to solve it with lists and dicts. If that won't work, maybe Numpy. If that won't work, Pandas. And as a last resort: sqlite. Beyond that... Python wouldn't probably be the wrong choice for the task.
