I don't know re: handwriting so only barely relevant but here is a new contender for a CLI "OCR Tool using Apple's Vision Framework API": https://github.com/riddleling/macocr which I found while searching for this recent discussion:

If you use Docling, you can set your OCR engine to OCRMac then set it to use LiveText. It’s a good arrangement. You can send these as command-line arguments, but I generally configure it from the Python API.
