This largely looks good (nice work!). I might have more adjustments as we get the exercise going, but for now the changes are good and my suggestions are minimal.
Still noodling on if we want the related exercise to cover choosing between the methods, or if we only want to focus on f-strings. My first impulse is to do a mix of str.format() and f-strings, and leave the other stuff out. I worry that although template strings are important, they will confuse students, especially if/when we introduce Python 3.14s T-strings.

Since the new specifications are explicit about both nesting and not needing to switch out the quotes, should we now include examples of nesting and switching quotes so that escapes don't get applied in results?

We might want to go into some detail here with different number formatting/alignment, since it's pretty common for formatting outputs in a table. Trey Hunner has some good examples.
