Everything I've seen so far indicates that no major redesign is needed, rather more likely is that

a. we are not invoking pyjnius correctly, or
b. pyjnius is not behaving as expected.

Could we focus on HelloWorld.x3d and .java working for the two python versions?  Let's consider this simple example in depth, rather than everything + everything.

build outputs excerpt:

create python:
node xml2all.js C:\x3d-code\www.web3d.org\x3d\content\examples\X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter01TechnicalOverview//HelloWorld.x3d
HelloWorld.x3d converted to HelloWorld.py
- - - - - - - - - - -
validate python:
Loading HelloWorld.py with X3DJSAIL, if successful then saving as round-trip HelloWorld_RoundTrip1.x3d version:
Moving 1 file to C:\x3d-code\www.web3d.org\x3d\content\examples\X3dForWebAuthors\Chapter01TechnicalOverview
HelloWorld.py round-trip load test #1 complete

Loading HelloWorld.future.py with X3DJSAIL, if successful then saving as round-trip HelloWorld_RoundTrip2.x3d version:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\x3d-code\www.web3d.org\x3d\content\examples\X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter01TechnicalOverview//HelloWorld.future.py", line 104, in <module>
     .setDEF("ViewUpClose") \
AttributeError: 'org.web3d.x3d.sai.Navigation.X3DViewpointNode' object has no attribute 'setCenterOfRotation'
Result: 1
HelloWorld.future.py round-trip load test #2 complete
==================================================================

I think if we get that one to work for v2, we can get them all to work.
