alt Hacker NewsI'll give an example.
I write Python, software engineering, and data science books in Jupyter. (Because I want both text and code). I've written my own toolchain (multiple times, don't ask, yes, I've tried the one you're thinking of and it didn't work for me).
I need to convert the notebooks into chapters in my books (PDF so I can print them). In the past, I used code to convert to LaTeX. (It was horrible).
Now, I use code to convert the Jupyter file to markdown, then (I use pandoc too) to typst. (It is 100x better than LaTeX).
(I also use pandoc to convert markdown to epub).

For what's it's worth you can render Jupyter notebooks directly from Typst using the Callisto package. You can then style the notebook content as if it was written in Typst, using show rules, etc:
#import "@preview/callisto:0.2.5"
#callisto.render(nb: json("notebook.ipynb"))

I know you didn't want questions, but maybe you can save me some trouble?
Assuming you're talking about quarto, may I ask what you didn't like about it? I've been converting some of my course materials to it and have been enjoying it immensely.
