Yup. At my job we ended up some way too important stuff "modelled in BI tool" in a way that nobody could understand how it actually works, and had to do full rewrite to model it in SQL.

But not all BI tools are alike - something like Superset which internally uses SQL and expects users to do self-service transformation using views is easy to industrialize since you already have the queries. Something like Tableau, not so much.

(If only Superset were more mature)
