It's absolutely a valid and serious answer? You asked for reasons, omitting two options, and they gave you a list of points for and against not including those two options. That's a good response, you don't need to agree with it, but I don't see how you can call it not serious?
The answer as a whole is serious, I said as much, read again. A singled out this one point, because it is not. It is akin to any other knee-jerk dismissive attitude to anything different. Casting away a far more proven language, used for over a decade in thousands of serious, commercial projects with wide editor (and LSP) support etc over indexing conventions, is not serious.
Lua is my first 1-indexed language, i have yet to have a single bug over this. It's a irrational fear.
Nitpick: you haven’t found any bugs. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Yes. So there may be a price to pay, one day.
But a vague, unsubstantiated feeling that one day, you might introduce a one-off indexing bug should not justify discarding Lua, and all its substantial benefits over project.
Arguing the pro's of Rust data-structure interop in case of a Rust project - that makes sense. This, this is basically nonsense.

It absolutely is. I gave you concrete reasons. (Edit: actually in a sibling comment)

I never said anything about bugs.
