Zero2prod doesn't really teach Rust, it's more about setting up an API for people who already know Rust.
And it also isn't 100% best-practise, more like all-practise. It tries to show any and every way you could approach a problem while somehow keeping it minimal. Really like it but if you follow the tutorial 1:1 you'll most likely get frustrated

I went through it and hated it. It's very tedious and I felt like I learned nothing from following along.

I read the book while knowing almost nothing about the language, but yes I did complement it with "the rust programming language" book at the same time.
I still think zero2prod is extremely beginner friendly, you don't need to know rust well to follow it. You can just dive into rust concepts as you read it.

well, you don't need to know Rust to complete Zero2prod but you need to have a backend background for sure.
My first thought after spending 30 minutes with this that it could easily become my new no. 1 recommendation for rust onboarding, toppling the zero2prod book.
Then I figured out why this felt familiar, it's from the same author :D
Will definitely dive into it this weekend.
