I somehow misinterpreted pipenv being an official python project. My usecase was pretty simple, I wanted a requirements.txt that only included the things I explicitly installed with perhaps a requirements-lock.txt with the actual list of things installed. :/

I didn’t even realize poetry existed until I talked to people who do python full time.
