Would you consider codecs or heavy numerical simulations to fall under those memory allocation scenarios that you'd use Rust for as well?

That is a good scenario, however you can still use languages like D, Nim, Swift, C#, F#, Go, among others for such scenarios.
For example, you can do codecs in C# on WinRT with .NET Native,

Back to Rust, yes it is a good option, I just wouldn't write the whole application on it, just specialized libraries.
Hence why I am looking forward to Rust/Windows efforts.
