I'd say there is value in learning for the sake of learning. Even if you later on decide that the Rust implementation is not production-ready, you can draw conclusions from the project, and the next time someone considers Rust for a bigger project, there is a member on the team who can provide insight into potential issues. Of course, the project would have to be sufficiently small to not waste too much time.
