TBH this is why I have been questioning whether it is a good strategy to teach introductory courses in python etc. I was educated in the system of “we teach you C, C++, and Java and you can basically program in any language after that”... and I kinda see the rationale there.

Depends on the domain I think. I'm rarely building big systems, so I rarely need types. If I was teaching, I would do Python -- lets users get closer to the most useful abstractions in intro courses. ...but, in your domain, that may not be true.
