Correctness is not necessarily the issue. The hard thing with large Python codebases is that the lack of types and data definitions makes it hard to understand what data any piece of code is operating on. This may not be an issue for a project written/read by a single person, but when working on big team projects it's a different story.

Any statically-typed language will avoid this issue.

Python supports type annotations and static typing via mypy and co. I find statically typed Python is absolutely comparable to other statically typed languages. At least I don't feel much of a difference working with it compared to go, typescript.
