In this case we're talking about a soft real-time application where milliseconds matter. If you use Python for this, your developer speed will suffer because you're using most of your time to fight garbage collection pauses, among other things.

Yes. For a DAW, I would avoid languages with garbage collection.
Writing real-time audio processing code in Python won't be performant, though. And that's the part that matters for a DAW.
