Your hunch is correct, Rust's developers have stated that Rust isn't aiming to be a language with which to implement kernels or device drivers.[1]
It's interesting to see that the domain of "systems" programming languages appears to be splitting into "kernel-level" domains and "perfomance-critical application-level" domains. In this light, it seems more like C++ is the one caught straddling the gap. Should be interesting to watch this space for the next decade or so.
