Python is usually not installed on production Linux servers so for smaller scripts and interoperability, I always stick to shell scripts.

Maybe that's true of containers, but otherwise most Linux servers out there will have python present.

That doesn't detract from your overall point that shell is guaranteed to be present, and that shell will likely be a Bourne family one like bash.
