I use a similar setup in Emacs with code-cells.el [1]. VSCode had a tendency to choke rendering large interactive graphs in-line, so if I was needing to view in a separate process anyways a little elisp turns "write last IPython output to a tempfile, open, move to workspace N" into a keybind.
Edit: browser-based Jupyter would also fall down here as the penalty for a graph being too big is at least a kernel restart.
