Currently, we use flake8-rst for running flake8 in code snippets in rst files:

However, flake8-rst isn't maintained, and is currently run in its own environment with a different flake8 version because of incompatibilities with flake8 v4

Task here is:

• search around to see if there's a maintained tool which does the same thing (runs flake8 on code snippets in rst files)
• try using that instead, fixup any new errors which may result from running it via pre-commit on all files
• make a PR
