How's analogue computing progressing as a more energy-efficient alternative?

Not. Noise would kill it. Your answers would essentially be nonsense.

Isn't ML moving towards low-precision floating point anyways?

Yes, but the whole reason that works is because a chain of such devices is still stable. A chain of analog components will just output random noise if it gets long enough. That's the main reason why digital won out over analog: repeatability even with long chains of computation.
