I would actually recommend conda, it solves the "multiple version" issue and is compatible with virtualenv/pip so you can keep using them as usual.

Miniconda makes this really simple and their doc on environments is easy to read/understand. The benefits of conda really shine when trying to install a package with external dependencies to an environment.
The one thing I thought was neat here was pipx. I do have a few CLIs set up in my default conda env and haven't run into any dependency problems yet, but have occasionally tried to use them while another env is activated. Having a separate env automatically created for the entry points is a nice value add.
