I'm used to Python (and some Go) for decades, and the verbosity of Java is a non-issue to me.
I'd rather have the speed, type safety, and refactoring tools support, over Python... (not to mention the much better packaging situation).
I'd still prefer Python for smaller programs, basically because of the startup time and quick write/try cycle. But for larger stuff, I'm not so sold, and I've been doing them (in Python) for decades...
