Yes-and-no, I think. Limited usability of assembly language comes from limited resources (registers, operations) available to programmer, that leads to (so) many simple steps for more complicated tasks.

But, high-level language can offer a very interesting possibilities, even if it was not created for such kind of programming. For example, some time ago I made another attempt to emulate family of 65xxx. Previous versions were written in typical manner, like work of every other programmer on Earth.

A new approach, when a code was written in more regular way (see link below), like mentioned tabular-one, gave me excellent results. I was able to fully understood a program and processor logic and finally I was able to re-create a most magical command for 65xx: SBC/ADC with BCD support in very straightforward and clear way (especially for a cpu-like logic).

For example: https://github.com/aniou/morfeo/blob/a83f548e98bd310995b3c37...

There is one thing that not fits into pure, tabular-like code logic: more complicated conditionals and loops. But maybe, in future...
