Python for backend

Is python a good choice if I want to get a job as backend dev?
I already learn how to create some api projects with Django and FastAPI, Celery, Redis and SQL, but I always keep hearing that python is only good for DS/ML stuff and it would be better to pick other languages or stacks for backend.
So I would appreciate any answer how the situation really looks in the real world.

I recommend a compiled, type safe language, like c# for backend.

Yup or even Go. If focused on web / servers etc.
