For one, being able to JIT Rust is nice for development, to reduce compile times.

Yeah but you would be constrained basically to a subset of .NET, as it is no longer a native language but a .NET language, so it's not like you'll be JITting huge Rust applications (where compile time is actually high).
There are online Rust compilers and interpreters already if you just want to rapid prototype and develop ideas in Rust

You are responding to one of the key developers of Rust early on[1], who's been working with the language for 14 years at that point.
[1] https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/graphs/contributors?from=2... and he's still #16 in commits overall today, despite almost no activity on the rust compiler since 2014.
