I found show_wifi_clients.sh on this wiki but it needs a file that is not on my dumb AP. Is there a script to see the associated stations (all connected devices) I can use for a dumb AP not a router?
Have a look at iwinfo.

Search the forum for /etc/ethers, there are several threads and solutions for this 'issue'.
Lets say your wireless interface is wlan0
Run the command:
iw dev wlan0 station dump
This will give you all the information you might need to know about associated stations including traffic volumes, bit rates, association time and much much more.
I searched but didn't find my use-case in the hits.
Did you find this https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/dumbap#populate_host_names_in_associated_stations ?
OP said cli not gui
Then you need to tell us how your use case differs, and the suggested solutions can't be used.
I think the best way to do this is via DHCP script.
Create a script like this:
cat dhcp.leases | awk '{print $2" "$4}' | ssh <dumb ap ip> "cat > /etc/ethers"
put that to a file and add:
config dnsmasq
option dhcpscript '/etc/dnsmasq/scripts/dhcp.sh'
in /etc/config/dhcp.
It's now updated in "realtime". No need for cron jobs. Done.
