Fat std library mistakes/warts would likely result in third party packages being used anyway.

Not necessarily, but let's agree that some design faults would happen: you still get the option to use the solid, boring and slightly rusty std instead of another 100 dependencies from the supply chain supermarket.

At work, we're happy with Python's included batteries when we need to make scripts instead of large programs.

So it provides another option, and in worst case it doesn't make situation worse than it is right now?

Yeah, pretty bad idea.
