That's why I use nushell. Very convenient for writing scripts that you can understand. Obviously, it cannot beat Python in terms of prototyping, but at least I don't have to relearn it everytime.

So the alternative is:

either an obtuse script that works everywhere, or
a legible script that only works on your machine…

I am of the opinion that production software shouldn't be written in shell languages. If it's something which needs to be redistributed, I would write it in python or something

On a more serious note, NOTHING with more than a little complexity should be written in shell scripts imo. For that, Python is the best, primarily due to how fast it is to prototype stuff in it.
