I appreciate that Django is a good old full-stack server-side framework, and there's a lot to like about that. But I can't bring myself to start a new project with something that has the gross inefficiency of CPython (or, IIUC, stock Ruby), as discussed at, for example, [1] and [2]. I want a runtime environment that's efficient enough that I can deploy the web application on a couple of small VMs, still have plenty of headroom for load spikes (which, in my experience, are usually due to screwups on my part and not actual demand spikes), and delay thinking about scaling as long as possible.
