I have a couple of systems which used to have python2 as well as

FWIW, for this you install the little stub package python-is-python3.
Especially if you want to keep a python2 installation around - "python"
will still be python3 in this case.
So, going on from this, how do I do the equivalent of "apt update; apt
upgrade" for my globally installed pip packages
Odds are you don't want to. The internet is full of surprises about
dependency problems when stuff is blindly updated; the set of Python
packages in the apt repositories is carefully curated to avoid these
problems - and this is part of the reason why sometimes certain such
packages are irritatingly down-rev.
