The issue I see here is that the jedi's perception of the Force is fundamentally a paradigm. The reason Luke was too old, the reason the Jedi Order never took in adults for training was because it's hard to instill that paradigm into people who already have an established paradigm of their own. It's very likely the same mental discipline necessary to wield the Force is the very reason that Mandalorian Jedi are so rare. (coupled, of course, with just how hard it would be to steal mandalorian babies to brain wash them...)
according the Jedi dogma... the Force flows through everything, but not everything is aware of it. The rigid discipline of the mandalorians... if there is a Force Tradition there, then their perceptions are different. the Jedi putting everyone and everything on a spectrum (jedi=light, sith=dark. Other bastards=dark, stuff we tolerate = gray) assumes everyone is perceiving the Force in the same way- or is asking the same questions about the Force.
Important to note, Ahsoka does specifically say she isn’t training her to be a Jedi, but to be herself. I doubt any Force skills she gains will be particularly powerful, but I suspect they’ll be useful combined with what she knows already.
