> As a former developer, I have had countless project ideas and choosing the tech it's going to be written in has always been a [unnecessary?] long topic, often leading to procrastinating and giving up on the idea.

The answer is the tech stack doesn't matter all that much.

All you care about is bringing ideas to life and python is versatile enough to do anything, so pick that.
