Instead of messing up a good thing, how about just dealing with what's
already there, as in 625°K nighttime at the elevation of 5 km.

Under a pressure of 75+ bar, 625°K isn't all that bad, thereby folks
like yourself certainly do not require all that much O2%. Though why
intentionally contaminate another world with human arrogance and utter
stupidity?

This perception or perhaps distortion of our O2 concentration needing
21% is simply not the case while under pressure, as I've got perfectly
good records of actively working humans surviving quite nicely on 4%
O2, I believe that was starting in at 5 bar absolute. The more the
pressure the less O2% requirement and, that's a well proven fact.
There's many other examples of significant other life surviving at
extremely low O2, that's including several examples surviving within a
relatively high CO2 environment and/or of sulphur dioxide, that's not
even to mention deep sea life.

Acquiring energy certainly isn't a difficult task;
On Venus there's more CO2 density and pressure differential per
vertical km than you can shake a flaming stick at. That's a whole lot
of highly worthwhile vertical kinetic energy on steroids. How many GW
would you like?

BTW; a source of thick or dense CO2 makes for a terrific refrigerant
and/or heat-exchanging medium and, obtaining a R-256 of isolation from
conduction mode heat is certainly within our grasp.
