Well, given that this has been going on for years, you can already start to empirically evaluate that question.

Yes, it's a beginning not the end.
Or, you could look at other projects who have been using Rust for many years, and consider these factors there too. The folks who have have generally concluded the opposite.
The distribution I use already has limited security updates for Rust: https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues.... which reduces my security. The cargo supply chain issues are also very obvious, I am far more worried about this than I ever will be about memory safety, but hopefully tor reduces its reliance on random dependencies.
