It’s a waste of time to use classes, if all you’re doing is hacking together 500 lines into a stable enough heap to generate the graphs for a paper.
Not all academic code is that bad, but the heft is definitely towards that end of the pool.
I got really familiar with the distinction, because I spent a while translating PhD project/demo code into actual products for $JOB. It’s definitely mostly in making things secure, stable, maintainable, and debuggable that you lose most of the time.
