> Perhaps one exception would be compiler/linker backends

I think for compiler+linker backends it's really important to have a decent reading level of assembly. In llvm, most of the work will be in instruction selection and you'll then read the results. With lld you write a very stylized handler with some switch statements and very stylized macro incantations. And read the results with dis and elfdump.
