We also need to ask if the better is because of Rust, or just because the old was a mess and the language was good otherwise.

I don't think "better" really had to be proved. The same but aligned with your org strategy is perfectly acceptable given these sorts of technology choices are often driven by exogenous and wooly factors like licensing, your confidence in the future direction of the technology, or the ability to hire staff (or the ability for LLMs to work with the technology!)
