There has been funding in recent years to fix the quirks and improve performance. The Faster CPython project has had good outcomes towards achieving these goals.
Python 3.13 will have a JIT, and true threads. It'll likely take a couple more releases for these features to be stable and utilized throughout the stdlib and the wider ecosystem. In a few years, performance and quirks will likely not be an issue.
