I wouldn't advise using anything other than the tools blessed by the PSF for mission-critical stuff. Using Poetry for local development is fine but don't build a huge infrastructure around it and don't use in production.

I migrated the CI/CD of my company to Poetry some time ago, it worked fine for some time until we needed a feature that Poetry didn't support. I submitted a PR adding the feature to Poetry but their sole developer was apparently taking some time off and the project remained without any development for several months.

I migrated the CI/CD to use my own Poetry fork but it was very cumbersome, Poetry has a very weird build system so forking it is not simple.

At this point, I realized that I was just wasting time. There is nothing that Poetry does that the other (old and stable) tools don't do. Poetry was the result of me falling for the shiny toy syndrome.
