To Review or Not to Review: The Debate on Mandatory Code Reviews
Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

Enhance Your Project Quality with These Top Python Libraries
Flake8. This library is a wrapper around pycodestyle (PEP8), pyflakes, and Ned Batchelder’s McCabe script. It is a great toolkit for checking your code base against coding style (PEP8), programming errors (like SyntaxError, NameError, etc) and to check cyclomatic complexity.

Is it considered rude to completely change the formatting of someone else's code when making a PR?
https://github.com/psf/black it’s a PEP8 compliant formatter for Python codebases. If you don’t like auto formatting files you can use https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8 it just lists out all of the style issues so you can fix them manually.

Ruff: one Python linter to rule them all
I have no stake in that, but my observation is that the actual discussion appears to have both supporters and detractors rather than overwhelming support. Either way, it has nothing to do with whether or not it is realistic to say that Ruff is the "one Python linter to rule them all".

Sure. Also, and don't take this the wrong way, but there are some code smells in your project that could be partially mitigated with some basic linting/formatting. I suggest black as a code formatter, flake8 for basic linting, and isort for sorting imports (for example, you have local imports mixed in with standard library and third party imports). You can install these via pip and most editors (like VS Code) can autoformat on save and show you linting problems as you edit. And you can integrate these into your workflow by using pre-commit.
What are some alternatives?
