I've worked a lot with JS's arrow functions, and I've taught them to a good number of students, and this is basically a non-issue. In JS, the need for arrow functions is a lot stronger, as they actually have different semantics to "function functions" (for want of a better word). In Python, the need isn't as great, but there would be some minor value in this syntax. Overall I'm +0.1 on either => or ->, and have absolutely no push either way which one is chosen.
