PyPI will gain 2 Factor Auth support in Warehouse. It's something I feel 
strongly
about and am going to make it work. It obviously won't be required for the
reasons you listed it but if folks turn it on then it'll be required for their 
account.
Likely also projects will be able to require that their projects themselves get
modified only by an account with 2FA enabled as well.
