Ah, OK, yes I was talking at cross-purposes to some extent then, thanks. (Jupyter notebooks are hopeless in version control due to the JSON format, but I'm not familiar with Rmarkdown notebooks -- do you get sane diffs?)
Yep, so what you say makes sense. Isn't it sometimes a bit overly prescriptive to assume all collaborators use Rmarkdown? (Perhaps not! I used to work in biology and statistics and R was very ubiquitous.)

Rmarkdown indeed makes sane diffs, it's just a nice text-based format. You can use python or julia as well (see quarto.org for the latest version of this). Getting collaborators on board... yeah, that varies.
