Venv is great for keeping dependencies separate but if your local machine doesn’t have the same version of Python as your server then you’ll need pyenv.

Not necessarily, you can use a CI pipeline to verify that your project can be build with many Python versions. This is the workflow I use here[0]. It makes catching and fixing breaking changes easier. Plus, I'm confident the core team is not likely to introduce a painful breaking change (think Python 2 -> 3) soon[1]

That's great for libraries but isn't it a pretty huge cost for an app you only really are going to be running on one version at a time?

Dealing with BC breaks for versions you aren't intending to run in production seems like unnecessary overhead.
