If you can remove GNU coreutils and replace them with something else (like that Rust garbage) then you don't have a base system. You have a loose collection of packages around a kernel.

Replaces the GNU Coreutils with the Rusty ones on BSD
Which BSD ships GNU Coreutils?
Every occasion I’ve seen GNU coreutils installed on BSD, it’s been outside of the base and thus installed outside of /bin. Eg /usr/local or /opt/homebrew
BSD has its own coreutils, in fact they even predate GNU.
