It's possible to only have one version of the code, using only Python syntax, and conditionally compile it with Cython if available. This gives up some potential efficiency wins from type annotation, but avoids the need to keep two copies in sync. Regardless, though, I think CI would need to run the tests both with Cython and with non-Cython fallback. We've moved toward releasing wheels instead of sdist on PyPI for recent versions; for this to be useful it would mean releasing multiple binary wheels for different platforms. There's no question this could make a big difference to Django CPU usage; the question is whether it's worth the added CI and release complexity when it would likely provide little value to the majority of Django users.
