How worried do I need to be?

In a complete garden noob and have no experience with gardening. Bought a house I absolutely love 6 months back, and was planning on picking up gardening. I was made aware that bamboo can be invasive by my neighbours who are much avid gardeners than we are – and our backyard has a row of bamboo at the back end. I was made to believe this was “golden bamboo” by AI reverse image search. A quick google search revealed some varieties can be invasive. A quick Reddit search showed me extreme cases of bamboo invasion which has honestly freaked me out.

I don’t want a whole garden (and my neighbours garden) full of bamboo.

I would be very grateful for advice on how to tackle this
