I’m also curious about how valuable writing rust that compiled to webasm is. Wouldn’t I still have to write a lot of un-rust-like code to manipulate the DOM? I could definitely see writing a core library in rust and wrapping it in a thin interface to use it in JS, though. Is that the idea?

The stand-out uses of WebAssembly have mostly been augmenting a JavaScript application that has strenuous computation needs in certain parts. As others have mentioned Figma, Twitch, etc. have used it to great effect without rewriting their entire app in Rust or another linear-memory based language.
