Another complaint I have with jupyter notebooks is that they don't play nice with git. For this (and other reasons), I much prefer Emacs org-mode, or even running Python in Rmarkdown+Rstudio+reticulate.
The main problem with emacs org-mode is that users probably need to use emacs, and lots of people have their own editor preferences, and while some have org-mode-alike's, they aren't as fully capable as emacs org-mode. Which is what Jupyter addresses by making the interface more accessible/editable to all.
That said, I think one of the most important factors that the linear notebook flow encourages is a focus on reproducibility, whether it's Jupyter or Org-Mode. I feel like overcomplicating the dev environment would make the much harder and would at least need to be planned for.
