Thank you for your input. I like Rust a lot but I am also aware that I might see in trough pink glasses. Could you make the case for Rust as i.e. a backend service due to increased correctness and thus saved time in debugging and maintenance?

You have to think about what correctness means. Rust is designed for memory safety, i.e within a program memory space, it ensures that when something writes to a memory its allowed to. Most of the code in your program won't benefit from this, especially if using standard libraries for things. For other things, like data manipulation, its no more correct than any other language. It also won't help you with algorithmic errors that are language independent.
