Would it be likely that I could get around that problem just by using arena allocation? Do you think the allocation patterns of a symbolic checker fit that sort of "just allocate everything and forget about it, then free it all at once" pattern? Does Rust make it easy to punt that way?

Yup, you can use arenas for that, and in fact that is likely what I'd do. There's an arena crate on crates.io. https://crates.io/crates/typed-arena/1.0.1
