I don't see it with v5. Anywhere else to get a score for mobile usability?

i am seeing a mobile analysis tab (by default) on the PageSpeed Insights [developers.google.com].
afaik Chrome(ium) Dev Tools still has a mobile analysis option and i believe it also uses the PageSpeed Insights API or similar.

I found that the mobile-friendly does in fact work and I have it working in my app now. It's a boolean y/n and I thought I remembered the PSI v4 returning a % value. No matter, I'm glad it's working.
*However*, it's quite slow: The mobile-friendly test takes about 50-60 secs to return a value for a single URL, whereas Pagespeed for desktop/mobile each take about 15 sec.

i would expect the mobile version to take longer to process due to simulated throttling (both network and cpu)

Makes sense. Hopefully this API isn't going anywhere soon.
