I've followed this project from the beginning, but I would say in general this is only a good way to learn Rust if you already know how to write an OS. If you've never written an OS before, then following this will be an exercise in simultaneously learning Rust and operating systems, and that's a lot for anyone to expect of themself. This OS may be "small" but that should not be taken to mean "simple" (although the presentation is excellent and understandable).

Good on you if you can pull it off though!

I mostly agree but I don't think it's unreasonable for an experienced developer with a bunch of languages on their toolbelt to learn OS development while learning a new language.
