Upstream doesn't care about clang and Rust as much as Google does, so that isn't ever going to happen as much as people vouch for it.

The biggest hurdle to getting AOSP-kernel features into the upstream kernel is not clang or Rust, it's cleaning up hacked-together kernel code in a way that makes it acceptable for upstream maintainers. (And getting rid of userspace blobs for things like graphics.) Always has been for as long as AOSP waz a thing.
