If using python for large project, sure, use latest version.
If writing small tools, consder limiting yourself to system python and its stdlib / system-packaged libraries. A script which ypu can download as a single file, immediately run, and immediately make some changes in, all without worrying about venvs or other setup, is a beautiful thing.
This works especially well if you are writing internal tools and your company has standarts like "Everyone is on Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04"
