It’s an issue when generating python, I can tell you from experience. It’s also a pain to not be able to safely rely on an auto formatter

Every python developer I know uses an auto formatter today, and never needs to think about it (ruff, black). It's not ambiguous and is immediately visible if something has the wrong indent.

(On other projects, I often wish other languages had formatters as good and standard as the Python ecosystem. I have many complaints about Python but whitespace is just not a problem I've seen)
