I think that having a way of getting publication quality output would be great. However, I think for what most people do the good interactive graphics of the plotly (2D, mostly, see https://plotly.com/python/) and K3d (3D, see https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter) are better.
If enough people are interested, maybe one of the foundations could pay for the work.
