I have a similar experience. Was drawn to Rust not because of performance or safety (although it's a big bonus), but because of the tooling and type system. Eventually, it does get easier. I do think that's a poor argument, kind of like a TV show that gets better in season 2. But I can't discount that it's been much nicer to maintain these tools compared to Python. Dependency version updates are much less scary due to actual type checking.
