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.
