Isn't the problem here that building Python extensions needs to work
correctly in two - possibly conflicting - scenarios:

- in RPM packages, where using system compiler flags is a MUST

Yes and packages get *all* the Fedora RPM flags that way via:

 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SetBuildFlagsBuildCheck
 - %py3_build, %pyproject_wheel, etc.

- when user installs Python packages manually, for example with pip in
a venv, where using system compiler flags isn't necessary (or
necessarily a good idea)

This is the case this thread is about.

Just dropping everything but `-fexceptions` would certainly violate
Packaging Guidelines (i.e. packages not getting built with default
compiler and hardening flags) in the first scenario, wouldn't it?

Dropping it from %{extension_*flags} would not change any Fedora package except such packages that %undefine _auto_set_build_flags and don't use macros to build stuff but invoke the build manually somehow -- such packages should already be recognizable by not having annobin and package ELF notes.
