No, it doesn't solve the problem of packages that currently depend on
host-python, and that expect a Python 2 to be installed.
You seem to be focused only on Python external modules, but you
completely forget that there are packages in Buildroot that depend on
host-python as their build dependencies, even though those packages are
not directly Python related.
For example, are you sure that mesa3d and libxcb will built properly
once host-python is Python 3 ?
