No, because Rust gives you the tools to compartmentalize this stuff pretty well. Yes, if you write an unsound program it will fail to compile, but the language also guides you in the direction of not writing one, so huge complicated codebases written in 100% safe rust are possible and do compile. With C++ as complexity grows it's harder to keep stuff safe, in my experience. YMMV.
