I have a MediaGoblin image I've been using in "production" for a while, also based on Debian and Python 3.9, that's closer to 842 MB uncompressed and 329 MB compressed. Might be worth borrowing from its Dockerfile if you want to slim down your image some. It's entirely possible there are additional things that could be cut out, too.
