You can add 3.8 as a target on a specific package by specifying the
USE flag 'python_targets_python3_8' for it.

If you decide to go that route, I recommend doing that only on a
specific package version. You will then be required to keep up with
the package if a new version is released that still does not have 3.9
available, but you will automatically be rid of the 3.8 dependency on
that package whenever a version is released that can be upgraded to
3.9.

Cheers,
