I'm certain they don't. For one, Rust can't even be used in a niche but important class of safety/mission critical software until a certain level of certifications (i.e. DO-178C) are reached so by that measure alone it is disqualified. For two, what targets the languages compile to are a necessary but far from sufficient measure of a language's practicality - the most important ones have nothing to do with the language and everything to do with ecosystem and tooling.
