The grid and bastions only support Python 3.5; that won't change until they get an OS upgrade (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275864). As you noted, python 3.7 and 3.9 are available on Kubernetes but writing YAML configuration can be complex. There is a project to build a tool similar to jsub for submitting jobs to the Kubernetes cluster. A beta version of that tool is available for testing on the dev-buster bastion, see <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285944> for details. In this case, beta means "might not have all the features" and "implementation details might change". Because it's just another way to submit jobs to the existing k8s cluster, it will still be at least as reliable as the grid.
