I got a response from one of the vscode-python devs on GitHub:

Unfortunately Jedi (and it’s underlying parser, parso) has not added support for the match statement yet. Please consider switching your language server to "Default"/"Pylance" as our Pylance language server already has support.

As soon as Jedi makes a new release with match statement support we will take the update, but otherwise this is out of our hands. Since we have a language server that has support I’m a closing this issue.
