If you want to build a cross-platform desktop app with Rust, Tauri + React would also be me recommendation right now. Tauri makes it quite easy to drop down to Rust if you need to (for high-performance operations and everything interfacing with the OS), and it also comes with pre-built packaging for the main different platforms. With React you are able to leverage a great ecosystem that has existing UI components for many things (unlike most native Rust GUI frameworks). It also allows you to reuse you frontend engineers and all their expertise when it comes to web technologies (and working with designers).
