For the kind of work I'm using Python for (computer vision, ML), not really. The ecosystem isn't there and even when it's possible it would be much less productive for very little gain. Typed Python actually works quite well in my experience. We do use C++ for some hand-written things that need to be fast or use libraries like CGAL, but it has a lot of disadvantages like the lack of a REPL, slow compile times and bad error messages.
