My preference when using field calculator, among other tools, is to use Arcade rather than Python.  However, ArcGIS Pro appears to retain a default to Python.  While I don't see an option to swap the default in ArcGIS Pro's options, it doesn't mean it isn't there somewhere. But if it is not an option, it would be an appreciated update. 

Thanks for looking

The blog takes you through the steps you can use to change the default expression type in Calculate Field from Python to Arcade:
