Edit: For context, my reply was because the pip freeze note was missing in this post. So turns out it was added afterwards and is still recommended.
Is no pip freeze needed anymore? In previous Testing branch the blog posts suggested to do a freeze for global and user space, like described here in the issues list: [Testing Update] 2021-12-16 - Kernels, Pipewire 0.3.42, Python 3.10, KDE Frameworks 5.89, Nvidia, Xorg-Server 21.1.2 - #2 by philm at “Do ‘pip freeze’ before the update”.
I have 164 packages Python packages installed from the AUR, according the pacman command and I use Qtile. That is why I am a bit nervous with the update and double check.
