Actually, more precisely one needs to distinguish 

A. sage-system-python
(see build/bin/sage-system-python and build/tox.ini)
This is a minimal build requirement. All Python versions (2.x, 3.x) listed 
in build/tox.ini are supposed to be supported, though I am not sure if some 
of the oldest ones have seen much testing.

B. the python3 accepted by python3/spkg-configure.m4 for using for venv.

There is nothing wrong with an spkg that declares python3 as a build 
dependency and then uses sage-python23 (or just "python3" now...) at build 
time. This is, after all, the same python that we use for "pip install".

I haven't looked at the specific ticket.
