If experiences I heard from previous projects(1) (successfully) embedding cython are to go by python isn't necessary good choice for this.

Not only did old examples often just not work, there was no serious code completion to facilitate creating anything from scratch.
Furthermore tooling to work in such contexts (as a API consumer) often is very limited or does not exists, but the API producer seldomly has the time/money to produce such tooling either.
Lastly there is the remaining problem of Python by itself being really slow, for it's main use-cases this often doesn't matter as e.g. the scientific computations are run by native extensions python delegates the work, too. But this would mean that you have to also support native extensions support or hope that no extension needs to be really fast (not needing to be really fast is surprisingly often the case) or similar solutions. In turn choosing something which has a good JIT, AOT or similar compilation has benefits.
