"Python is eating the world" but we're having a significant brain drain of prominent developers who make sure the lights stay on for the community

Python is a tool, and it's a tool that serves certain communities (lately, data science) very well. Nobody's shown me anything that doesn't say that's our growth area when the rest of the traditional uses have been falling.
What happens when that use starts falling?

Can you give some examples of these traditional uses that are falling?

Web servers are a big one. Django is doing very well, but it's certainly not like it was in 2011.

As infrastructure stuff, well, OpenStack is basically dying and distros (iirc fedora?) are moving to Rust for their system-level automation.
