So what I learned some time ago is to strike a balance. And the talk that you mentioned shows three tools that I use almost on all my projects: pyenv, virtualenvwrapper, and pipx. They have been working for years. They will still work for years in the future. I've also been using pip-tools since I don't remember when and I think it will still be supported in the future.

These are also tools that do one thing. You could instead choose a tool that does a lot of things like Poetry, which is, of course, a pleasure to work with. But I prefer this Linux-style philosophy where you pick up a tool that does one thing, but does it very well.
The baseline is to start using the tools that are industry standard in Python. Like Black for formatting, flake8 for picking up the common problems, isort for sorting your imports.
S: There are those no-brainer things like using Black for formatting. Years ago, I worked on a project where code reviews often contained comments about single vs double quotes. And we didn't have tools that would pick this up. So reviewers manually put in these comments, and someone had to change their pull request to change the style of quotes. You shouldn't waste time doing that.
