The embedded Rust ecosystem is actually pretty vibrant these days. The number and quality of #![no_std] crates is improving rapidly.
The main limitation is going to be if your MCU is supported by LLVM. If you're targetting ARM, RISC-V, MSP430 or Xtensa you might get further than you'd expect.
There's a hell of a lot of tooling built around C though. So nomatter what happens I don't think we'll ever be rid of it.
