I am always pushing for my team to do more EDA. EDA can be done really quick and help steer a project with little effort. Like you said it's easy to generate a whole bunch of things out of a script that you can build over the course of an hour. However, it seems that we jump a bit too quick to want to set up a full project with production workflows, tables, and dashboards to maintain. Much of it is necessary to get the end-user a nice interface that they can filter and slice on. The benefit of doing an hour of EDA over months of Dashboarding can be huge.
