So, if I'm counting correctly, there are only 3 packages remaining that

Perhaps, but isn't that an upstream decision?
We can put some pressure on upstreams to switch to python3. Or disable plugins
on those rdeps. Or get them out of Debian...
Also, isn't it possible that
third parties might still have Python 2 plugins for applications outside of
the Debian archive?
Well, sure. But there may also be stuff out there that uses stuff that we have
removed from the archive. That has never stopped us from making changes and
moving forward, as long as our changes have been reasonable.
I also don't like the split, fwiw, and given the few py2 rdeps I think we should
just fix those and drop the py2 loader.
