I was a long time org mode user and used babel extensively [1]. It was a marvelous experience, but the market chose markdown. I still drop into org-mode some times for specific features, and the babel integration is still in its own league, but technically there's nothing preventing something similar for markdown.

I pulled some org-babel code to make a code fence evaluator for markdown a while back [2] but haven't found myself needing it that much. So without a need to wrangle reports or run exports, I think it's a 1% feature for text file connoisseurs.
