I can't see any reason really to keep using asdf for python when a better alternative now exists, unless you just don't want to learn the new syntax?

If all you do is write Python then sure, but for the rest of us that have to run code written in 7 different languages within our project, written by 7 different teams, playing nicely with asdf is non-negotiable.

I've had it with version managers that only target a single language or tool, the cognitive load is too high if there's more than a couple of languages in the mix.

What would be really nice is an asdf-like single package manager with language-specific plugins. That would save me a bunch of headaches.
