Prior to watching Ahsoka, I'd read reviews that you didn't necessarily need to watch anything to understand it, which is sort of true, although there's certainly more context if you'd watched The Clone Wars and Rebels.
I decided to watch The Clone Wars first, and binged through that and a little bit of Rebels before starting Ahsoka, and finished up Rebels after Ahsoka. My wife had only seen bits and pieces of The Clone Wars prior and didn't seem overly confused, although I did explain a couple things.
Rebels is certainly more "important" to watch of the 2 though (plus a couple/few key episodes of The Clone Wars would be helpful). There's an "Ahsoka" important episodes playlist in Disney+ if you don't want to go watch tens of hours of backstory.
Tip for The Clone Wars. There's actually a "back door pilot" movie, The Clone Wars. It was theatrically released, but didn't do well. Even though it's in Disney+, it's not well promoted (i.e. it doesn't appear in the Star Wars "timeline" order view). It's MUCH better than the actual Clone Wars pilot (which we had watched years ago, but just didn't get into the series back then). I actually didn't even watch the movie until I was partway through the series, because I was confused about what it was.
After getting into The Clone Wars a bit, I enjoyed it, as well as The Bad Batch and Rebels. Just started Resistance, although this one seems more skewed to kids.
