There are some obvious places where sys.exc_info() can be replaced by direct access to a captured exception (without needing any new features that could complicate backports.)

Need to avoid changing tests that are testing exc_info, like generator tests or sys.

   Now that 3.10 is out of bugfix mode, we can use sys.exception() (which exists since 3.11, so would not cause issues with normal bugfix backports).
