It depends on what you need to do
If you need actual research and doing something innovative (openai, midjourney) get the academia people.
If you need to train models to deliver value to business, definitely go with the strong engineers. They can learn the ropes, there is plenty of material on the internet and their code will be usable and maintainable.
(I'm working with code written by academics and I won't recommend it)

But of course not everyone in the company, let alone the industry can agree on what are the expectations of a "ML Engineer", hence the shitshow we find ourselves in.
