On python, because of the Gil, multi processing should always be preferred if possible.

It’s easy to set the path to include the venv in the Dockerfile, that way you never have to activate, either in the run line, nor if you exec into it. Also this makes all your custom entry points super easy to use. Bonus, it’s super easy to use uv to get super fast image builds like that.
