One good thing that would come from limiting Rust in the Linux kernel today is a clearer path to bootstrappable and reproducible builds. GuixSD has done some amazing work on full-source bootstrapping systems using the linux-libre kernel: https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/the-full-source-bootstrap-building-from-source-all-the-way-down/ https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2023/the-full-source-bootstrap-... A requirement for a rust toolchain complicates this significantly and I'm not sure if now is the right time to have rust be a hard requirement.
