I think, the community of godot will decide…
It’s will depends on how the community will used most c# or gdscript
In my opinion, support multiple scripting languages will affect the community and getting support support from others.
Look at unity , in the past , Boo, JavaScript , C#
But now, only c#, no doubt godot will face same issue
One more thing, I think anyone know gdscript very well , will keep using it
But anyone coming from unity or other game engine
May see c# better, since no need to learn, the basics , dive in docs. , and start coding
For me, I really disagree the multiple scripting language
Because it’s will end with one 
So learn from unity mistakes better
Good luck everybody

The irony is, that in the Godot’s manual in the beginning, after „„GDScript? Why your own scripting language? Why not Lua, Javascript, C#, etc.?” part, there is good reasoning why C# and other languages SUCK for this particular engine scripting. However, now it seems that Microsoft blessing is magically making C# usage possible and even brings more benefits. Which is of course lie.
I understand that „pizza’s are not for free”, but I’m afraid that team will be focusing on implementing Cstupid# features and fixes instead of improvements for GDScript. This is how all good ideas and solutions die anyway beacuse of Microsoft evil touch.

I don’t know about Boo but what Unity called “javascript” was as much js as GDScript is Python. It was far from ECMA compliant and it seems it was transpiled into c#.
C# is Unity’s main language and it’s built on top of .NET tech.
Godot has GDScript as it’s main language and it’s tightly integrated with the editor.

This is my own current understanding: C# as C# script, and as a programming language is friendlier than other reduced versions scripting languages, however it costs a performance from game. But I doubt that coding higher level logic requires too much performance for most of games - in that sense C# as scripting language would be a better choice.
From future perspective however we still have godot engine (c++) + scripting language (GDScript or C#) - that’s two programming languages.
And learning another language or mixing two different ecosystems is not so good anyway. (I know the curse of managed c++)
C++ will raise however - there already exists modules support, and I hope that compilation will be one of the modules, after that we could have C++ core + C++ scripting, and forget about other scripting languages.
