Autocompletes to asperger-rationalist for me, and I see Valentine reports the same. But maybe this frees up enough syllable-budget to spend one on bypassing that. How about: endevrat, someone who endeavours to be rational.
(This one is much better on the linguistic properties, but note that there’s a subtle meaning shift: it’s no longer inclusive of people who aspire but do not endeavour, ie people who identify-with rationality but can’t quite bring themselves to read or practice. This seems important but I don’t know whether it’s better or worse.)
There’s also the good ol’ Asp Rat abbreviation.

OOoooooohhhhhhhhhh.
Alas, my brain autocompletes “Asp Rat” to “Asperger’s-like rationalist”.
That one’s also a little hard to pronounce, so I think we’d have to collapse it to “assrat”.
Could go “aspirat”. (Pronounced /ˈæs.pɪ̯.ɹæt/, not /ˈæsˈpaɪ̯.ɹɪʔ/.)
