Mozilla wants full control over the official Rust binaries, which I guess is reasonable. Google also wants full control over Chrome binaries, which I guess is reasonable, too.
I think Debian should just move Rust over into "non-free" and call it a day. Most people are OK with installing non-free software. And those that aren't are probably skilled enough to compile their own Rust binaries.
As for having Rust in the kernel, I believe that either needs a special permit from Mozilla or there shouldn't be Rust in the kernel. It would feel very icky to open the door to using non-free products in the kernel, because that will surely invite me-toos.
