> embedded code that's inherently unsafe

I'm not really an expert in embedded systems, so take this with a grain of salt, but that doesn't track with my experience or with my theoretical understanding of embedded systems. First off, embedded systems are just regular systems with tighter constraints and less high-level constructs. With that understanding, if embedded code is unsafe... so is any code on any system.

Second, embedded systems have peripherals that are accessed via direct memory reads and writes. Which is only unsafe if access to those peripherals is shared in an unsafe way. Sure, the rust code that reads and writes to memory addresses will use `unsafe`, but everything above that can be written without using unsafe. Which I guess makes your statement technically correct, but imo not practically correct
