Font Comparison: Atkinson Hyperlegible Mono vs. Je...
Isn't it the opposite; use proportional fonts in the terminal but not code, where alignment matters? I am giving it a try, and I like it on first impression.

Tons and tons of terminal apps are written assuming a monospace font. Alignment matters and you don't have much control over that.
In code, you can always choose a style that discourages spatial alignment.

Terminals usually don't support proportional fonts.
