If Venus ever had life, it is beyond discovery.

Unless it's not "life as we know it." Improbable, but not
impossible.

And Venus is recently
resurfaced, which means it's much less useful than Mars for
understanding the developmental processes of the Solar System.

Agreed. Useful mainly to amateur astrophotographers for producing
pretty pictures.

Are you saying that you think remnants from ancient life could be
more persistent than geological features?
