Since making it work would be a lot of work for minimal benefit, the most that could realistically be done is to make it fail a little more gracefully (I believe that would need to be done on the Vim side of things, though).

Right. I can't remember the details, but I've seen similar types of dual-plugin support in other applications. Generally it means you can either import Python 2 code or Python 3 code in a single process, but once you've fired up the first runtime, the application will prevent you from firing up the other. So yes, I think Vim would have to put that guard in, and I agree that there's not much benefit in trying to make this work in Python.
