I agree with it feeling unbalanced. I don't register that statement as being complete. Putting the parenthesis on its own line is the same as putting a closing curly brace on its own line in languages that use those.

    int foo() {
        return 1; }

(This example actually breaks up vertically in my mind. As if it's just the number 1 being bracketed)

Maybe it could be broken up differently though to avoid the lone paren.

    assert (outputs.get("foo.bar.baz", "default") == 
        pytest.approx(time_recorder.time_taken, abs=0.0001))
