How much do languages and stacks matter with mid-level experience?

I got a late start to my career which has consisted of a year in Delphi and four years in C#. I got laid off last summer and I've been looking for (a) work in the nearest big city and (b) remote work. Last fall I impressively passed an assessment test where I had to use Java and they told me that if I could build some personal project in Java to show them, they'd interview me. (I didn't really want to work for them and some family stuff arose to eat my spare time over the following few months, preventing me from making anything anyway.) So now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth applying for roles with other languages like Java or Python, despite not having professional experience.
