OK, so, an update to the situation - I've managed to install that contextvars, this time I tried with pip3, but first I had to install pip3, and it pulled up a lot of dependencies - and it managed to install contextvars without any errors.
I've rebooted the machine and reinstalled latest Netflix plugin, but "background services" just wouldn't start.
Rebooted once more to be sure, nothing. Reverted to last known good version and it works.
Backported contextvars solution doesn't work - at least not in the way I've installed it. Maybe someone with more python knowledge could make it work, but I suspect that there is more things that are not compatible, not just contextvars.
So, as it is now, Netflix plugin (as of version 1.17) doesn't support Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS any more, 1.16.2 is the last version that works.
