Considering LLMs are models of language, investing in the clarity of the written word pays off in spades.
I don't know whether "literate programming" per se is required. Good names, docstrings, type signatures, strategic comments re: "why", a good README, and thoughtfully-designed abstractions are enough to establish a solid pattern.
Going full "literate programming" may not be necessary. I'd maybe reframe it as a focus on communication. Notebooks, examples, scripts and such can go a long way to reinforcing the patterns.
Ultimately that's what it's about: establishing patterns for both your human readers and your LLMs to follow.
