I have received several positive answers on the python-dev list since I posted the question here. The answer is yes, VS2019 and all VS20xx releases since VS2015 are correct to use for Windows contributions until MS changes the binary C/C++ ABI, currently at level V14x.

The core dev's have indicated that the Python Development Guide documentation needs updating to reflect this fact.
