I just resolved an issue with PICAMERA2.
First, PICAMERA2 is installed with BOOKWORM. You don't need to do a separate install.
As mentioned, you do need to create your VENV with --system-site-packages. After that you should be able to IMPORT PICAMERA2 without any other installation.
From my VENV using PICAMERA2 without additional installs
