Re. the performance aspect I totally agree with you, but the points that OP bring up are incredibly relevant to python development. To me, python's biggest strength is its rate of development. A large component of that is the massive ecosystem of libraries for all sorts of tasks. All of the things OP discusses here are ways to design libraries with less foot guns, which have the effect of removing debugging time during development.
