You have no idea how jealous I am of you; I would give my right arm and my dick to be able to experience it on a real 8-bit computer. Emulators aren't bad... but it's like wanting to eat crab, but only having cheap surimi sticks; it's just not the same.

As far as I know, “modern” assembly language is not so much intended to be written by people as by compilers. Z80 and 6502 are incredibly simpler and more self-explanatory than x86 or AMD. I think the only real use for assembler these days is for reverse engineering or if you're involved in low-level development. I could be wrong, though.

I would say that, more than the language itself, it is the compiler that adds extra crap. Frankly, TCC or SDCC binaries are incredibly more efficient than those generated by GCC or Clang. That, and to tell the truth, C is one of the few languages where you really have to know what you're doing. I don't know why the hell people still use ‘#define’ instead of ‘enum’ to define constants.

Basically, yes. But it creates the same feeling as the previous analogy of surumi bars... if not worse.
