Is GPU assembly an actually in-demand skill?

In games only one console vendor allows you to write shaders in asm, though it is not very productive, especially with RDNA. Reading the compiler output is a good-to-have skill however, for teasing the compiler into better register usage, reducing divergency, identifying problematic folded math, and debugging live GPU hangs.
