For what it's worth, I've been using the latest ViewVC commits along master for about a year and have seen no problems.  That's been with Python 3.8 and 3.11 so far.  I had to ensure some environment variables were exported to CGI scripts so ViewVC can find SVN's Python bindings, something like this in the server start script,

   export PYTHONPATH=path-to-svn-python-bindings:$PYTHONPATH
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=path-to-svn-libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and this in the server configuration files,

   PassEnv PYTHONPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

As simple as that looks, I had to add debugging to ViewVC to figure out why the CGI script was having problems, but that has nothing to do with using master commits.

Good luck.
