I learned during the first .com wave while using our own in-house version of ActiveAOL inspired server, and friends doing Zope projects, not to take shortcuts with dynamic languages at scale.
Static typing does solve some issues, provides tooling opportunities, and easier ways to generate native code when that performance gets called into action and like here the application is behind any hope of getting rewritten.
In fact, pretty much so, that all dynamic languages that got widespread adoption are now trying to fit some kind of static typing support into their infrastructure.
