It's very easy to just instruct the LLM to build using isolated crates, to maintain boundaries, focus on "ports and adapters", etc, and not run into this - in my experience.
I haven't had any issues with this getting out of hand on >10KLOC vibed rust codebases.
From the languages that I know, Rust is the only language that I can look at a multi-threaded code and understand it. This stuff being checked by the compiler is a huge advantage
I only used Rust for fun maths projects crunching billions of numbers (else python is easier for me), but I have to say rayon is the most amazing multi-processing experience I've ever had!

This rewrite is >750k lines of Rust
I don't see any reason why the approach wouldn't hold just fine, if not better, as the codebase scaled. Indeed this appears to be exactly what the author has done, they mention that they made heavy use of crates.
