I imagine it is problematic that Python is already very slow, and then to pile up idioms with performance downsides on top of that is kind of rough.

Functional programming doesn’t have an inherent performance downside, but it depends on specific optimizations in compilers and runtimes to make it fast. Python doesn’t really optimize anything from what I know.
