It doesn't have the be 100% visual programming or not. Same as a program does not need to be entirely written in one programming language.
Where I think visual programming shines is, as a way to interact with an underlying complex system, like the artists you mention. As and intermediate step between a rigid and often limiting classical user interface (forms, knobs, buttons) that someone needs to define and implement and the "real" code.
And I think trained programmers as well can have use cases for this. For example ETL tasks, continuous integration, etc. For me the important part is, that there is an escape hatch, and I can drop down to writing code if the blocks get in the way.
