It's much worse than 2→3 transition as it seems to me.

Python is a very slow language whose main advantage is relatively cheap and easy FFI with bindings to all imaginable library already written.

With breaking FFI you'll lose all the libraries while adding SMP to still slow language. It's a cleare loss of value.
