I've been doing largely the same as you up until just about a month ago, and maybe once a year I'd have to track down and deal with breakage of my environment because of it. Things periodically get into a weird state for reasons I don't understand. About a month ago I set up a "homedir python" using pyenv, to hopefully solve this problem once and for all. So far it seems to be working great. Though for projects I've been playing with poetry and rye the last year, basically just as syntactic sugar over venv, mostly just to try them out. They work fine, though I don't understand why "rye shell" is being deprecated.
