Which MATLAB course to take for undecided
Paying for code doesn't make it any less prone to bugs. If Python can be trusted to handle observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, it can probably be trusted for other, more terrestrial applications. In any case, since it is open-source, you can always inspect the source code yourself to verify what it is doing.

A Software Glitch Forced the Webb Space Telescope Into Safe Mode. The $10 billion observatory didn’t collect many images in December, due to a now-resolved software issue.
Relevant: because it's a public science project, a lot of the repositories are open source https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwst
