Do you want to work as a developer? Or do you want to want to continue with your research and analysis? If you're only writing code for your own purposes, I don't know why it matters if it's conventional.
I guess if you are unlikely to go back and change it, or understand how it works, then sure. And yeah that happens.
I write scripts and utilities like that. Modularity is overkill although I do toss in a comment or two to give a hint to future me, just in case.
Although tbf, I took plenty of CS classes and some of the instructors beat best practices into our heads... So writing sloppy, arcane, spaghetti code causes me to flinch...
