Well, in the case of Instagram, this just shows that Python was a great choice.
They went with a dynamically typed language, were successful, the language they chose added an optional type hinting system, and they wrote a tool that would automatically type hint their code in order to reap many of the benefits of a static type system.
I think that the amount of man hours that went into writing the tool is negligible, so it's a net win for Instagram.
