To be honest CoC are mostly just that, virtue signaling. Especially if you aren't enforcing them. Then they are letters on dead wood. That said, CoC wasn't the cause here. It seems it was just a non-functional governance. Why was Rust Project considering Keynote speaker a direction for the project? Some argued they weren't before. Why wasn't previously team that approved the talk consulted? All in all very disappointing outcome either way.
