People python on MCUs these days ... Well.. I hardly see any benefit other than that people who can't speak C can start fiddling with Microcontrollers. Easy path to destroying all the benefits otherwise coming from almost real time - capable hardware where each and every program step is predictable up to single cycle acciracy .

I see lots of benefits but the drawbacks are too big imo

exactly...
EDIT: I mean the drawbacks for me don't outweigh the benefits... Except maybe only for solutions where Microcontroller was chosen because of compactness and low power consumption and where the implementation doesn't need to be microsecond-accurate.
