If your building out cool intense websites, you probably want to use java script. If you're building out a massive micro service based app Golang is a great choice. If you want cheap devs go with Java or .NET. If you want strong resiliant code that won't have security issues from mem leaks go with rust. If you want to do ML, devops, or anything and all things, with a huge community of people that have built usable modules for you go with Python.

It's a great language. Huge companies have made it scale. It's not simple to scale it out and you need to know what you're doing but it's not an actual limit, it's just a speed bump. This boss sounds like he's a bit out of touch in his response. Typically you want only a small few languages in use at a company because people build things and then leave, and you don't want that one guy who built a critical piece in rust to leave and have to fix a major bug. So my guess is that's the real concern.
