This is my experience, too.

I wrote trumped.com and deployed it prior to the last presidential election. The frontend and assets have been redeployed, but the core rust service for speech generation hasn't been touched. I've never had a service this reliable, and it took so little effort!

Rust is the best language I've ever used, bar none, period. And I've used a countless many of them.

The only places where I won't write Rust are for small one-off scripts and frontend web code. (Even with wasm, Typescript would be tough to beat.)

And what other languages have you written something like trumped.com in? What was it about them that required more effort?
