Rust is a great tool for these. The focus on performance and reliability (versus fast iteration) is a perfect fit for these domains specifically.

Server, I think you could be right.
Database engine, no way. Look at the internals of modern ones. Very very intricate pointer based data structures that you'll pull your hair out replicating with Rust.
Again, it's not like it's impossible. You can certainly accomplish it by treating it like a puzzle but using the right tool will have better results.
