I personally would prefer having a different container image for this
job.  Because it would:

1. Be super simple (FROM fedora:33 / dnf -y install python3.6 pipenv)
2. Not carry all this unnecessary baggage
3. Not risk building QEMU with Python 3.6 (suppose the ./configure
   probe changes unintentionally)

But, AFAICT there is no precedent in requiring new images for
different types of checks.  So, unless someone else complains loudly,
I'm OK with this.
