I think it depends on size or codebase, how many people are working on things and how long you can afford to develop before releasing.
I do mostly work with python and JS, but last Christmas I learned Rust, and it strongly occurred to me that exhaustive matching, no nulls, borrow checking and strong type inference would be a real boost to development given the initial time to build the codebase up. I'd put money on them removing hours of hunting subtle bugs, and on missing the ramifications of refactors.
I built some small scale game stuff using SDL2 for Advent of Code and I enjoyed rust for doing that a lot.
I think also dynamic languages work best when developers actually are knowledgeable about the underlying types and effectively write code in a typed manner anyway. It's a much worse trade-off when function signatures actually avail of loose typing to do strange things.
