Is it possible to compile with statically linked musl with the pre-built Rust toolchain on a standard glibc based distribution?

  Yes, but there are claims it is slower https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/a6pna3/comment/ebzpzld https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/a6pna3/comment/ebzpzl...

    musl is generally not optimized for performance.

  Yes, it works well. The main caveat I've found is you need the rustls feature of packages rather than openssl. Though perhaps that was more related to cross compiling for Arm.
