What's with the scare quotes on "data analysts"? Just because you read on HN about how some such tool is bad, doesn't actually make it bad. Hating on notebooks is like hating on Excel: it's trendy in some circles, but generally only espoused by the ignorant.
I've held jobs where we just productionalized data analyst code from notebooks into data pipelines.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with notebooks, but they are a serious PITA to take from being handed basically the musings of a data intern into a a production pipeline.
I used scare quotes because unfortunately in many places there are essentially zero qualifications to start running around doing those jobs.
