I've just tried version 1.7.6 which we use for libgccjit and it's fine:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/jit/
About Python version: I'm not planning supporting Python2, it's dead 10 years already.

The mentioned version is 3 years and I expect even older releases would work.
No, I don't rely on any new feature.
I would recommend testing the build. You can simply clone:
https://github.com/marxin/texi2rst-generated
and simply run 'make html' or 'make latexpdf'. Basic dependencies are mentioned here:
