I build Android almost every day, and now it takes forever on a dedicated build machine with SSDs and 32GB RAM.
I hope this doesn't increment build time, otherwise it'll be a true pain.

I don't see why the Rust alternative would make solving bugs easier. It's ugly and hard to read, hard to parse and hard to follow (IMHO). If before there was "only a handful of people capable", now it will be less.

But I disagree about less people being capable of writing it. I don't have any stats to back this up but for developers new to systems programming, Rust is more approachable than C++. The compiler does much more work in ensuring you don't screw up.
