The answer is (at least based on what I know from talking with upstream)
that ansible has been pretty well tested with python3 for the controller
host. All upstream PR's are tested against both python2 and python3. All
upstream CI runs against python2 and python3.

For the target/managed node side: all core modules have been tested
under python3. Community supported modules however they have been fixing
python3 issues as they come up. There's not any full testing thats
happened over all those, nor is there likely to be.

Heres the list of known python3 bugs in modules:

Right.

However, they do say that most problems are trivial to fix up also.

Well, if it happens... some people might choose to keep it alive.
