The nice thing about Excel is that it does resemble a functional programming tool.

Would love to work with a replacement, even if it is some sort of Pandas/Python/Matplotlibb derivative - but it takes too long to set up things with these tools, and it seems not all operations are as trivial as I want them to be.

Yea, for exel you can use "=(function)" and you're done! In Google Sheets you can also add in additional JavaScript code to run in the sheets.
