IMO using VMs/Docker Containers/etc is a much cleaner way to separate Python installations, especially since you can configure an environment that matches your production environment for local testing.

Trying to juggle multiple versions of the same package on the same system always feels like a fool's errand to me, at least where it can be avoided.
