My rule of thumb is if it uses more than one variable, an if statement, parameter expansion, or string interpolation I just write it in python with argparse and file input.
Much cleaner, easier to reason about, and self documenting.
I've started rewriting some stuff in Go, bash is just not a pleasant experience in my opinion
