In my view Jupiter notebooks can be, but must not be, a form of literate programming. Many tutorials take the form of a single juypter-notebook exaplaining concepts with code interleaved, which i would argue is a form of literate programming. But my data-exploration notebooks, mostly code and an abundance of plots with sparse comments interleaved, don't really resemble anything i would call literate programming.

Do you mean "need not be" rather than "must not be"? "Must not be" means they shouldn't ever be.

Most of my Jupyter notebooks are just code, but I've got some with long Latex mathematical derivations of formulas that appear in the code. I would actually like to be able to have that kind of thing in comments within the code itself. I don't do literate programming really though.
