The problem is "less than 100mb" is unacceptable (for my use cases).

There are use cases where 100-300mb is no big deal and customer can handle this.

But single binary deployments with a statically compiled language where a fully-featured binary can weigh in from 5-30mb are what I'm after.

And honestly, with upx I can take even those fat Go binaries down from ~35mb to 7-8mb. That's an order of magnitude less than 100mb of Python and all it's dependencies. Not to mention with all those languages I mentioned (Go, Rust, Nim, Zig), I get multi-threading and high-performance as well.
