Depends on how much you want the sandbox to be disconnected from the rest.
The ideal scenario is a complete separate setup, as in DEV-QA-PRD-SANDBOX.
But to be honest, I think that is overkill.
If you have a separate storage account or you have a separate BLOB or even a subdirectory which is protected with permissions, you have already quite a lot.
Because the data is the most important part.
Then the notebooks: you can opt for a separate databricks account but again, you can do without.
f.e. use Repos for your 'official' notebooks, and the workspace/user folder for playing around.
You only have to make sure that you use the correct mount and that can be set with a widget as Hubert mentioned.
It also depends on the amount of people working on databricks. If you are only a small team you do not have to be too strict. But with lots of people and frequent personnel changes (consultants f.e.) it is a good idea to have strict permissions/procedures etc.
