I’ve been using virtualenv for a decade, and we use uv at work.
Neither fixed anything. They just make it slightly less painful to deal with python scripts’ constant bitrot.
They also make python uniquely difficult to dockerize.
That's so completely, diametrically opposite of my experience with both that I can't help but wonder how it ended up there.

RUN pip install uv && uv sync
Tada, done. No, seriously. That's the whole invocation.So you've never encountered a stale python project that used to work and had difficulties getting it up and running again?
Do you actually try new Python projects out with git-clone, or do you just use the same 3 Python projects for years at a time (all regularly)?
That might explain the difference in experiences
And if you’re genuinely asking, everything’s converging toward uv. If you pick only one, use that and be done with it.
