Someone might come along and tell you that you are missing out on some pylance features, but fuck closed source dev tooling it ain't worth it.

> And neovim is heavily embracing the LSP paradigm, where you'd use something like gd to jump to definition when on top of a function and a language specific LSP server will tell Neovim where to jump to.

This x100. I switched to neovim+pylsp a few months ago, and it's been an absolute delight. I use lspconfig [1] and pyslp [2] since most of my time is spent developing Python code. Not only can I navigate more quickly and easily, I also find myself catching more silly errors before run-time due to better linting from the lsp.

It used to be that I wouldn't use vim beyond quick edits on single files. Although I still prefer to use vim style bindings in IDEs, I can go much further before I feel the need to fire up an IDE in the first place.
