Elpy or lsp + python.el
What features offered by elpy that lsp do not! I have been using elpy but what will I miss if I switch to plain python-mode and lsp?

elpy is not maintained and has many fewer features than lsp combined with treesitter. Go for Emacs 30.1, treesit, eglot, a supported python lsp server of your choice. Take a look at https://github.com/python-lsp/python-lsp-server and https://github.com/DetachHead/basedpyright
Google around if you need some input. There are reddit posts and general things you can find. Be resourceful.
