I can at least answer this directly:

7 months before python2 isn't supported any more: 
https://pythonclock.org/

Statement from projects: https://python3statement.org/

Python2 does NOT work perfectly well, Inkscape has horrid support for
unicode in extensions because of how terrible python2 unicode handling
is. There are very good reasons not to use python2 any more, but we
will be careful about moving to python3 as there's a lot of code out
there and we've not got a good enough extensions network to get code
updated.
