Those code changes are included in the version of mountstats and nfsiostat on 
my Sid system.

http://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=steved/nfs-utils.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1683f356bd920d93f2db007902b2c46f97a2e49 is the commit 
where the shebang is replaced to python3 and that commit is included in 
version nfs-utils-2-5-2-rc4

https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/nfs-utils/-/tree/upstream already 
contains 2.5.1 and according to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?
bug=925022#10 it is a WIP by the kernel team.

OTOH, the "Transition and (build-)essentials Freeze" is only 3 months out and 
nfs-utils will go from version 1.3.4 to 2.5.x which is quite a leap ...
So it seems to me that a rather imminent release would be highly preferable if 
it is to be part of Bullseye
