Yes, Erlang's zero-sharing model is what I think Rust should have gone for in its concurrency model. Sadly too few people have even heard of it.

That would be an odd choice for a low-level language ... languages like C, C++, and Rust let you use whatever the OS has, and the OS has threads
A higher level language can be more opinionated, but a low level one shouldn't straight jacket you.
i.e. Rust can be used to IMPLEMENT an Erlang runtime
If you couldn't use threads, then you could not implement an Erlang runtime.
