So you're basically running an ~arch system, why not set in in make.conf?

I have found that setting PYTHON*_TARGET manually is something to be
avoided unless absolutely necessary. I would remove all of these settings
and let portage manage it. Then run emerge -uavDN @world. You may need to
*temporarily* set PYTHON_TARGETS to get through this.
Most importantly, carefully go through any emerge errors, and the recent
discussions on this list, to find out the cause of any clashes. In most
cases, it is usually older versions of software having dependencies
involving python2.7 that is at the root.

Get these in line by running:
eselect python update
eselect python cleanup

Available Python interpreters, in order of preference:
[1] python3.8
[2] python2.7
[3] python3.9 (fallback)

Portage defaults, nothing in /etc/portage
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_8"
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_8"
