Fellow ex-dropbox (2016-2021), the only part I disagree with is "Python was still used for virtually everything". Several core internal and user-facing services were in golang by even early 2020 (authentication, equivalent of IAM, part of the API gateway, etc).
Unfortunately, I don't think I'd describe dbx as a place with simplicity in infrastructure during the time I worked there, but it was good to have a standard set of rules enforced everywhere.
