If anyone's interested, I've published a proof-of-concept for this:

https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/23721

Long story short, the eclass detects if vendored distutils are being
used and renames the directories from .egg-info to .g.egg-info then. 
This basically means the tag changes from e.g. "py3.8" to "py3.8.g". 
I'm testing this approach now and it doesn't seem to break anything.
