my opinion:

it just makes no sense to discuss this now:
 + it's less than 6 months from the freeze
 + I doubt that there will be that many "affected packages" right now,
   much less that many "buggy" (by your proposal) indroced in the next
   few months; I don't recall seeing any example in any email.
 + I very much hope we'll manage to get buster out without python2, in
   that case thinking about shipping py2 modules now when we're going to
   drop them next year would be a plain waste of time.


I'm curious: what triggered this email of yours?
