This is cool and in my mind super useful for migrations.
It seems the main benefit of using something like that in daily life is that it's more convenient to generate complex SQL statements (like pivoting a table with a lot of columns).
However, I never really liked the PySpark dataframe api and looking at the code examples, SQL has the same visual complexity.
Snowflake has built something similar (just for Snowflake) SnowPark [1]. Here one promoted benefit was that you could also inject native Python function and "extend" the SQL dialect. However, I don't think it really took off.
