It might seem painful, but the fact is students will be reading lots of material besides what you personally prepare. That material will be referencing all sorts of "advanced" boilerplate things. One of the highest-impact things you can do is orient them in a way to understand outside material more effectively. It doesn't have to be comprehensive, but they're going to see things like "pipenv" and "virtualenv" in outside material sooner rather than later.
