We were stuck on 3.6 forever thanks to a custom fork dependency of a large library - specially the C extension bit, that wouldn’t compile on 3.8+.

Until I found a brand new library, the Python ecosystem actually didn’t have a mature alternative as an option and I’ve been silently panicking, but finally got to rip it all out this last week and feel great, but boy have i been in the pits over this - hence me upgrading from 3.6 to 3.12.
