On the other hand, rewriting the C modules and adapting them to a different C API is very straightforward after you've done 1 or 2 of such modules. Perhaps it's even something that could be done by training an LLM like Copilot.

That's breakage you'd have to tread carefully on; and given the 2to3 experience, there would have to be immediate reward to entice people to undertake the conversion. No one's interested in even minor code breakage for minor short-term gain.
