"sustain" yes. Rust has been in a position for a while to outlive Mozilla's involvement. It is developed independently and has sponsors and contributors from other companies. https://www.rust-lang.org/sponsors https://www.rust-lang.org/sponsors
That being said, I do think this will slow progress (even if for a short period), many of the engineers laid off were on the Rust core team and contributed a lot of commits and knowledge. Things like the Cranelift backend to speed up compilation for debug builds relied on the wasmtime team who have lost people.
So is Rust going anywhere? No, I'm not even worried about that.
However new features and fixes might take longer than expected.
