Learning Elm by porting a medium-sized web front end from React (2019)

I've also had the pleasure of maintaining an Elm codebase. It was filled to the brim with state update bugs. You could never trust what you saw in your browser. Nobody in the team understood how the codebase worked. I spent days implementing some extremely simple changes, which barely worked (to the same standard as the rest of the codebase). Never again.

I don't blame a Rust-codebase for being bad just because I don't know Rust.

So, your positive anecdote was somehow valuable for the discussion, but my negative anecdote had absolutely no value? That's how anecdotes work?

My positive anecdote proved that Elm is usable in production, which was the FUD I was refuting. Yours were irrelevant in that context.
