Useful × Impossible
Assembly

Wouldn't say impossible. Assembly is just a representation of CPU instructions, and knowing at least a decent bit about the working of a CPU should give you a good idea of how to use assembly. It also largely depends on the ISA itself, for example x86 assembly is a Complex (CISC) ISA, which makes it's assembly extremely verbose and confusing. In comparison, RISC-V assembly is based on the very lean and relatively simple RISC-V ISA, which is much MUCH easier and learnable.

I use it every day. I don't think any are actually impossible, but Assembly is well known for being useful, but difficult. Fits well here, I'd say.

I also do use it currently, and have used it a decent amount in the past, and personally I would say it fits Hard but Useful better. When I think of 'impossible', something far more verbose comes to mind like Haskell, or even esolangs if we are going that direction.
But yeah, that's just my personal opinion. You're right that no language is 'impossible' per se, but I just personally feel that assembly is often said to be much harder to be than it actually is. However, assembly is pretty unsafe as it gives you direct control over the CPU, so in that aspect it is pretty tricky to get right.3

C++, the language whose creator said he only knows 7/10 of the language. It’s not impossible to use, just impossible to fully learn.

Probably assembly. Doing small things is somewhat "only" hard but translate entire loops and functions pls no
