Have done several sites in this exact fashion, except coded in Nim, not Rust. A reasonably sized, musl-linked, absolutely standalone executable with SQLite baked in for data storage. That's two files all told - the program and the data. Super simple deployment, I usually stuff the thing behind a Caddy server these days. Never let me down so far.
