After a couple of years working in Smalltalk, I’ve acquired the hot take that all the code should be in a proportional font. Admittedly it doesn’t work quite as well for brace syntax languages, but in Smalltalk and Python it’s great.

It works better if you're using Elastic Tabstops.
This means all code should be prose and lose subtle spatial arrangements that are easy to add with monospace.
