I do use both of those packages

I've used virtualenv on IBMi, and it worked fine. I've worked some with

pipenv but not on IBMi. pipenv seems to be more popular choice for the
Python crowd.

I wouldn't say pipenv is "more popular", unless the "Python crowd"
means "Python early adopters". pipenv is comparatively quite new. Its
author has a good track record for building useful and popular Python
software, but it's still too early to tell how popular it will
ultimately be. It also has a ton of dependencies, which could
potentially be a stumbling block for use on IBM i. (I cannot test this
myself.)

The venv module is part of the standard library (nothing additional to
download or install) and is designed to operate similarly to
virtualenv.
