I don't have Wifi Assist turned on and I see the "network connection in progress" many times in my status bar. I really haven't worried about it very much. Also, in general, I find that from time to time when I do iOS updates, some settings are turned on or off to their default states, like the Wifi Assist. Other settings that have been toggled one way or another for me include but not limited to: Bluetooth, background app refresh, location services, and the list goes on. I think it is worth going through your settings at least after each major update and perhaps even every so often to see if something has been changed. Yes, it takes awhile, but you might be surprised what has been put at it's default "On" state, like the Wifi Assist.
