The toughest thing for making Venus habitable is that its day is 243 Earth days. It's like roasting on a slow spit.

I think we should be aggressively seeding its atmosphere with extremophiles, hoping that something evolves to transform all that free energy into life.

That's assuming that there isn't already something out there, e.g. floating in the more manageable atmosphere. There's beings living in or close to thermal vents in Earth's oceans or in acid pools in Yosemite, so it would be possible for things to survive there as well.
