How long would it take me to learn and get proficient with something like this? I would use it for email, JIRA tickets, reading github code, using the github/gitlab UI (as a TUI).
Maybe even some google sheets.
As I type this I now realize most of this is probably not possible :(
Things I've noticed are the debugging and logging experience are pretty good. You could have multiple processes dumping to different log files and grepping those.
There's a lot of formatting you can do with Python and the sister library Rich.
Have spent about 12 hours on it and it's much easier to get a UI running than say learning a flavor of the month JavaScript framework.

I suspect it has the same problem as ncurses: Not easy to learn, get proficient with, or rapidly produce something decent with.
I've been working on a project for a while that allows running any console program within it, and use text, keyboard, or mouse triggers to add a VT100 TUI, but it's uncomfortable to learn, very hard to get proficient with, and while it's possible to rapidly produce something decent, you're going to hit a hard wall producing something excellent.
