One data point that you may want to consider in your discussion is that Python is used for all other tests in web-platform-tests. Being different here will impose significant costs in terms of the difficulty of running the testsuite against implementations that already run the other tests. For example, given an appropriately designed python-based testsuite, I can probably make wptrunner[1] run webdriver tests. That would make it very easy to add these tests to the Mozilla CI system along with other web-platform-tests, for example. With a different technology choice adding to wptrunner won't be easy and more work will be needed to get the tests running in our CI. [1] https://github.com/w3c/wptrunner/tree/jgraham/initial
