I think my major pain point with them being everywhere is unlike a log they push a new stack frame and closure. They make tracebacks so much more annoying, yes I know the error happened in a start span, thank you.

I wish observability actually observed more than it contributed. Once https://peps.python.org/pep-0669/ is available I'm gonna try my damndest to get otel working through it. Just give me a config file that says what functions you're interested in and I'll do the rest.
