To be clear, I did run pip install -r requirements.txt, and re-running gives me a stack of Requirement already satisfied: [...] messages.

Do you have cairo installed on your system?

Also can you send the output of

pip list | grep 'pycairo'
serif commented 
❯ pip3 list | grep cairo
pycairo             1.21.0
❯ apt list --installed libcairo2
Listing... Done
libcairo2/unstable,now 1.16.0-6 amd64 [installed]

Oh FYI, I've accidentally mixed pip and pip3 here because of old habits, but they're the same thing on this system.

❯ pip --version
pip 22.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.10)

Getting the same issue running the latest version of regolith, cairo is installed both through pip and through apt

edit: more system info
OS: Ubuntu 22.10
Python: 3.10.7

resolved this by installing the package python3-gi-cairo through apt
