IIRC, Theo was (is?) against using rust because rust hasn't seen real world usage and coreutils hasn't been written in rust (according to him). When someone pointed out how there's RedoxOS and uutils, coreutils written in rust, he went on to question their POSIX compliance and whether memory safety was really a thing.
So yeah, I doubt rust is ever coming to OpenBSD. I'm also skeptical about the level of adoption rust will see in the Linux kernel. People are usually resistant to change (sometimes for good reasons).
