Furthermore, given a team of experts working for half a decade on the rewrite, do we really believe it would yield safer code than if we spent the same amount of work on improving postgresql security?
I get the appeal of Rust for a new project though, especially if your team doesn't consist of seasoned C programmers.

Nobody is suggesting complete rewrite, but theoretically - yes, in terms of security rewriting in rust would be better investment than whack-a-mole game of chasing bugs in C.
