Haven't messed with Python much, but have created various CLI's via Node, Ruby and Rust
Python and Ruby are pretty interchangeable, but Python just has more traction now. So then, I would suggest taking some of your simpler CLI programs and try doing them in C before doing them in assembly.

Unless I'm missing something, wouldn't Rust pretty much check all the boxes that C would?

It certainly would.

Not quite. Rust still has a bunch of black magic behind it managing memory and references. C is just you and the bare metal with syntax making it easier than assembly programming. Rust may be a good intermediary between Python and C, if that's too large a step to take, or a good starting point if you are already comfortable with it.
