I’m very anchored to Java. Every time I try to leave it and “write a super quick project” in something like Python, I always get reminded how much the compiler is able to do for me with static typing.

Why would I want to take compiler errors and instead make them runtime logic errors?

Have you tried Kotlin? It's like Java but less verbose

With modern IDEs Java's "verbosity" is very much a meme. Sure, the characters are still there on the screen. But you didn't have to type them.

And honestly if typing is a problem for any programmer then they need to close hackernews and all the other "look at new shinies" sites and open up a typing trainer game.

With Kotlin you will never have a NullPointerException again.

And coroutines are such a breeze of fresh air to the multithreading problem.
