I thought the whole idea of Flask was to keep it simple. Reduce the amount of boilerplateing and potentially "useless" features of other frameworks, i.e. Django + DRF. For what I've seen so far, it looks like you've put the Django + DRF features on top of Flask.

My question would be, why should I use Assemby instead of Django + DRF?

Looking at the docs, then looking at the amount of contributions on Github, the answer is simple: You shouldn't.
Well, clearly the project is in its early stages. I would be up to try something new if there is a good reason for it.

My current mindset is: - Simple internal API with not much complexity => Flask - Complex API with authentication and other moving pieces => Django.

Always taking into account the team's expertise.
