Unless I'm missing something, this shouldn't be a problem, just go away
and remove them all and upload them in roughly the same time?

Unless some of those don't have Python 3 packages in the archive yet, why
removing py2 from one package would break building another, if that
another has py2 parts removed too?
Note that having an unbuildable package in sid for several days, until
it's updated to a no-py2 version, is perfectly acceptable.
