Setup seemed easy enough, but the speed results just don't seem accurate. I can saturate my full pipe using the official Ookla CLI tool but the speedtest-cli python package only sees about 250mbps of the 1Gbps I'm getting.

Some of the Speedtest package are buggy. Ubuntu one was for a while.

Got much higher score when I pulled the GitHub version

Spot on. The Python speedtest-cli package is wildly inaccurate. Not sure if this project is based on it but if so the Speedtest CLI [0] is much better as someone else has already mentioned.
