The bad thing is, since python is not a "system" package, it

That's because python is no longer an essential requirement of Gentoo. It
is a dependency of portage, but Gentoo now supports multiple package
managers, so portage is not required either.
That's true but unmerging python still breaks portage. Talking about
some other package manager doesn't affect portage and the fact that
removing python breaks it. The facts still remain the same as before.
Remove python and portage is broken.
