I dislike these charts on account we're talking about Venus below its atmosphere, a courtesy not provided the gas or ice giants.
Venus should be treated as a Sudarsky II watercloud-giant but a lot smaller. The atmosphere is acid rather than water so rides a little lower, but still well above the surface.
Our colonies there would be floaters where the atmosphere is temperate, if only plant-breathable.
