FWIW, I think the concern though is/was that for most of us who aren't doing shared-data multiprocessing this is going to make Python even slower; maybe they figured out how to avoid that?

Pretty sure they offset any possible slowdowns by doing heroic optimizations in other parts of CPython. There was even some talk about keeping just those optimizations and leaving the GIL in place, but fortunately they went for the full GILectomy.
