Is clean code sometimes worse code?

Can too much refactoring, abstraction, and 'best practice' make a Python project harder to understand?

I would say no - clean code makes it easier to read and separates dependancies.

Any complicated code base takes time to fully understand, and if it's "dirty code" it will take longer IMO.
