When deployed, does meltano need anything other than a state backend to start running scheduled jobs with dagster? I haven't set my state backend yet so any time I materialize my assets it starts from the start date, but my scheduled job for last night didnt seem to run.

Not really. The state backend should be the only external component you need.

my scheduled job for last night didnt seem to run

that does seem like a dagster issue
