I previously used CircuitPython on my Pimoroni Keybow 2040, but it had an annoying bug that caused it to slow down and drop keypresses after running for a few weeks. I never debugged it because I was always in the middle of something else when I noticed the problem. That put me off trying KMK, tho there is no good reason for me to blame Python!
Woah! Just the thought of such a bug gives me the creeps!
I've long been critical of the absurdly limited resources (especially the 1k ram) of Teensies, forcing people to program like it's the 1970s. But what you describe strikes me as the troubles lurking at the other end of the spectrum: throwing complex software stacks at more modern hardware just because it has the overhead.
Sometimes, indeed often, less is more. I'd rather my controller was too simple than too complex.
tho I fear that perfection has not yet been achieved, and I am doomed to build another.
