I'm far from being proficient in rust but my productivity writing crud apps in it is pretty good (just throw some Rocket + SQLX and you're flying).
Rust is a very high level language, it's not like writing assembly. You rarely run into complicated situations with the borrow checker when writing trivial crud apps.
The ecosystem is not as mature for web apps compared to other languages, so it may be more efficient to pick something else, but ultimately the most important factor (when building trivial stuff) is picking a language you and your team are comfortable with.
Whether that's Rust or node.js, it won't matter much.
If I were to make something else which is better supported in Rust, eg. a videogame, using bevy + ecs would run circles around a bunch of other languages and their game frameworks.
