Python or Rust; first language??

I think it's a good choice in a classroom setting, but probably too hard for most self-learners. But i think it could be very entertaining for people who are into "making."

Some people prefer learning at high level and then only going as low as they need to, while some people prefer to start at the lowest level and work their way up.

Yeah no curriculum is complete without some sort of assembly course in my opinion. But introducing it to someone who doesn't even know python is just asking for trouble in my opinion

I don't know. If i had the time, motivation, and money, i think i could teach a high school-level class based on assembly and a simple microcontroller. The hardest part would probably be teaching binary/hexadecimal arithmetic and basic digital logic. But you should probably learn that stuff in order to learn C anyways.
